Stan Walker has announced his first New Zealand shows since he battled cancer last year.
Walker is heading on the 12-date New Takeover tour, which will see him perform across New Zealand's main centres over October and November.
The New Takeover tour will be Walker's first in five years. A2016 tour was cancelled after his mother was diagnosed with cancer, and in 2017, Walker received his own diagnosis.
Walker had to have his stomach removed, a procedure that was documented in Three's acclaimed documentary Stan, which aired in March.

Walker almost lost his life from the cancer, which was caused by a rare CDH1 hereditary mutation that runs in his family.
