Kaylee Bell announces Supports For Her ‘Cowboy Up’ National Tour

On the heels of her brand new album Cowboy Up which debuted at #2 on the Official Top 20 Aotearoa Album Chart, Kaylee Bell is set to hit the road next month for a run of big shows across Aotearoa. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the two special support acts joining her on tour.

NZ-born Samoan artist, TheWesternGuide, will open Kaylee’s first show of the tour at The Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington, Tuesday 4 November, as well as at The Civic, in Auckland on Saturday 8 November. TheWesternguide broke into the NZ country music scene after initially gaining recognition for hits like Pe Moni Ea, which exceeded 1 million Spotify streams. The blend of his Samoan heritage and storytelling, naturally found its way into country music and has been rapidly growing across Australasia and the US. This year, TheWesternGuide was nominated for Pacific Music Award 2025 and for his single Bottom of the Bed. With new single 50 Note out now and an EP on the way, fans can expect an exciting start to Kaylee Bell’s tour with TheWesternGuide bringing his unique blend of pacific country to the stage.

Supporting the South Island leg of Bell’s Cowboy Up tour is up and coming new country singer Zac Griffith. Zac’s musical journey started from a young age; once he’d taught himself to play the guitar and watched the Johnny Cash film Walk The Line, he’d discovered his calling. Between hunting, fishing and going to school, Zac’s gift was always at the forefront of what he did, rarely seen without his guitar. In 2018, he won a scholarship to attend Country Music Academy in Tamworth, Australia where he began honing his craft, releasing his first official single in 2024 My River Runs To You. Notably, Griffith has also been crowned the overall winner at the prestigious NZ Gold Guitar Awards. He’s a small town boy ready for the big stage which is where he’ll be this November. Zac will support Kaylee at Civic Theatre Invercargill on Thursday 13 November, the Regent Theatre in Dunedin, 14 November and The Town Hall in Christchurch on 15 November.

Kaylee Bell has carved out a career that bridges Nashville polish with Kiwi grit. The Cowboy Up tour promises to be her boldest and most exciting yet, bringing people of all ages together for a night to remember.
