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. A 2016 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.

Tickets for the New Takeover tour are available from 8am on August 8 from ticketspace.nz.
