WILKINSON makes his long-awaited return to New Zealand, bringing Kiwi fans a first taste of his new and critically acclaimed arena show celebrating his chart topping fourth studio album COGNITION.

One of the leading names in dance music, WILKINSON has cemented himself as one of the most influential names in dance music history. After 10 years at the top of the game and headlining festivals around the world, he shows no sign of stopping as he returns to Aotearoa to bring his acclaimed fourth studio album COGNITION to Dunedin’s Union Hall on Thursday 11th May.

Collaborating on COGNITION with artists close to him including a rekindling with the unstoppable Becky Hill on “Here For You”, his partner Iiola on the euphoric “Close Your Eyes” and powerhouses Kanine & Clementine Douglas on “No One Else”, he’s achieved one of drum & bass’ holy grails: a fully dancefloor-aimed album that never dips in tempo or diverts away from D&B, yet never crosses over into the classic ‘collection of bangers’ sensation so many D&B albums end up as.

At points it’s gentle, emotional and sincere, but it’s also riddled with a vibe that ensures all tunes will work on the dancefloor and vitality that won him the scene’s affection in the first place. Showing no signs of stopping either, we are elated to be bringing WILKINSON back to his second home.

Supporting WILKINSON on his arena tour is UK Drum and Bass producer DISRUPTA and local support PORIS across the tour.
