Doors open 7.30pm, Diesel on stage 8pm.
Plus1 proudly presents Diesel live at The Hollywood Theatre, Auckland (12 Feb), The Piano, Christchurch (13 Feb), and Old St Pauls, Wellington (14 Feb).
Diesel holds a special place in the hearts of New Zealand fans, thanks for NZ chart Top 20 hits like Tip Of My Tongue, Come To Me, Don’t Need Love, Never Miss Your Water and many more. His biggest album in New Zealand is Hepfidelity which reached No. 1 in May 1992 and remained in the Top 5 for a staggering 13 weeks.

VIP tickets are also available.
Diesel – By Request places the setlist firmly in the hands of the audience, with fans invited to submit the songs they want to hear before each performance - cover songs included. Also drawing from a catalogue that spans more than four decades, the result is an intimate, unpredictable and deeply personal evening where every show takes on a life of life of its own.
From fan favourites and chart-topping classics through to deep cuts and unexpected gems, By Request offers audiences a rare opportunity to shape the soundtrack of the evening. The tour has also become known for its spontaneous moments, with Diesel often dipping into the music that inspired him along the way, creating a show that feels equally like a concert, a conversation and a celebration of live music.
Operating under the moniker Diesel, American-born, Australian-based musician Mark Lizotte has spent decades establishing himself as one of the country's most respected and enduring artists. Since first emerging with Johnny Diesel & The Injectors in the late 1980s, Diesel has built an extraordinary career defined by acclaimed songwriting, virtuosic musicianship and an unwavering commitment to live performance.
With multiple ARIA Awards, chart-topping albums and over 400 registered songs with APRA, Diesel has a catalogue that effortlessly traverses rock, blues, soul, pop and roots music. Diesel remains one of Australia's most compelling performers and his latest studio album, Bootleg Melancholy, further showcases his ability to evolve while remaining true to the musical instincts that have earned him generations of devoted fans.
