Nukes Tickets

Hailing from West Auckland, Nukes formed in 2008 when co-founders Dave Parker, Dave Thiele, and Ben Collier began shaping a distinct sound built on tight three-part harmonies and a dynamic mix of folk, bluegrass, reggae, and punk-inflected ukulele. Josh Parker joined the group in 2023, strengthening a sound that’s both playful and deeply musical. Nukes has carved out a dedicated following across New Zealand through original material, engaging live performances, and community outreach like school workshops.

Known for their all-original repertoire, Nukes crafts songs that feel intimate and adventurous at once. Their live shows are a celebration of musicianship, storytelling, and infectious energy that invites audiences to sing along and discover the versatility of the ukulele as a lead instrument.
