Fleet Foxes to play two summer shows in New Zealand

Fleet Foxes will perform two shows here in January.

Fleet Foxes have confirmed their return to New Zealand with two shows planned for January.

The folksters will perform at the Auckland Town Hall on January 9 and Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre on January 11.

They'll be playing on the back of their third album Crack-Up, which received rave reviews when it was released in June.

They were last here for an Auckland Town Hall show in 2012.

Tickets for the new shows go on sale on September 29.
