The Maggie May hit-maker will play Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium on Wednesday, November 11, as part of his The Hits! world tour.

The Napier concerts will be the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's only North Island performances, following his previous Hawke's Bay shows in 2005 and 2012.

Celebrating 50 years as a solo artist, the 75-year-old singer-songwriter is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with over 250 million record sales worldwide.

Rod the Mod also boasts nine number one albums and 26 top 10 singles in the UK. Plus, 17 top 10 albums and 16 top 10 singles in the US.
