anniversary tour 2025
with band alex Freer - heather webb - mark hughes
Celebrating multiple album anniversaries, Delaney Davidson embarks on a July tour with special band The Anniversaries.
Fifteen years ago, Davidson teamed up with Reverend Beat Man of Voodoo Rhythm Records to release Self Decapitation (featuring Little Heart and Dirty Dozen) and Bad Luck Man (You’re a Loser, I’m So Depressed, Time Has Gone), cementing his cult status in the European touring circuit.
Having spent the last 20 years as travelling “troubadour" around the globe, sometimes solo, sometimes with accomplices, but always with his Ghost Orchestra, Delaney Davidson has found new focus embracing a love of Aotearoa. Through his collaborative work with Troy Kingi “ Black Sea, Golden Ladder”, his visual art work with Tame Iti, and his most current album “Out Of My Head” produced by Merk, he has featured such varied talents as Hayley Westenra and Reb Fountain and has toured with Chamber Music New Zealand - all the while continuing to reinvent concepts and challenge expectations, and gaining respect and admiration from audiences.
Delaney Davidson now takes his band of Anniversaries on the local roads around Aotearoa, don’t miss a night of wry sense of humour, some theatre of unease, and a rocking collection of bangers from his extensive back catalogue as he celebrates the music that got him where he is today.

Part man part wheel, Delaney Davidson is part wandering minstrel, part travelling salesman. One hand holds a small brown suitcase; his trade, his ghost orchestra, the other holds his guitar. One foot firmly in the Blues Trash corner of the ring, the other on the road, you could say Delaney sees music as he sees geography, and that although he has certain preferences, in fact all territories are up for grabs.
Delaneys focus on artistic content and his 2 decades plus of experience in making albums have seen him help bring into being a long list of award winning releases and artistic triumphs.
