He’ll perform songs from his acclaimed new album Te Whare Tīwekaweka – the first original album entirely in Te Reo Māori to top the New Zealand charts – blending traditional Māori forms with playful, inventive touches inspired by everything from mid-century New Zealand showbands to Sardinian folk, Elvis Presley to Elliott Smith. He was also perform songs from across his much loved catalogue including the albums Make Way For Love and My Boy. 

With a career that includes collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Lorde, and Florence + The Machine, plus festival appearances worldwide and acting roles in film and in Netflix series, Williams brings his magnetic presence to the riverside for an unforgettable night of music, connection, and pure artistry.
