Neil Diamond is returning to play two dates in New Zealand late next year.
The veteran hit songwriter, who last played here in 2011, is returning for shows at Auckland's Vector Arena on Monday October 19 then heading to Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium on October 24 which is the Saturday of Labour Weekend.
The tour follows the recent release of the 73 year-old's Melody Road, his 32nd studio album which debuted at number one in the US charts and reached the top five in New Zealand.
But promoters promise there will still be plenty of Diamond's old hits too.
Tickets go on sale from Tuesday December 9.
