Flight of the Conchords -- the Grammy-winning New Zealand comedy duo of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement -- ended an eight-year touring hiatus in May 2026 with three sold-out California shows at the Santa Barbara Bowl and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles (as part of the Netflix Is A Joke Fest). The response was massive, and the duo has since announced dates in New Zealand and Australia, with more North American shows expected to follow.
There are no North American dates currently on sale, but when Bret and Jemaine announce their next U.S. and Canadian shows, BigStub will have tickets ready. Check back here for updates -- given how quickly the California dates sold out, you will want to be ready the moment new shows drop.
Flight of the Conchords is the comedy-folk duo of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, hailing from Wellington, New Zealand. Billed as "New Zealands fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo," they rose to international fame with their HBO television series (2007-2009) and their uniquely deadpan musical comedy style. McKenzie went on to win an Academy Award for the song "Man or Muppet," while Clement has appeared in films including Moana and the What We Do in the Shadows franchise.
The 2026 reunion marks the duos first performances together since 2018, making these shows a rare and highly anticipated event. The three-date run includes a performance at the Santa Barbara Bowl on May 7 and two nights at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on May 9-10. The LA shows are part of the Netflix Is A Joke Festival 2026, one of the largest comedy festivals in the world. These represent the duos only US performances for the year and their first Los Angeles shows in over a decade.
Fans can expect the duo to perform classic songs and deliver their trademark deadpan banter that made their live shows legendary. Their catalog includes fan favorites blending acoustic folk with absurdist comedy, covering topics from heartbreak to the mundanities of life as struggling musicians in New York City.
