Lainey Wilson has officially touched down in our corner of the world, kicking off the Australian and New Zealand leg of her Whirlwind World Tour with a special first ever New Zealand show in Auckland last night.
Taking the stage to a packed out crowd at Spark Arena, Wilson marked the milestone night by premiering a brand new song Can’t Sit Still, giving fans an exclusive first listen during an intimate acoustic section of the set.
Stripped back and story first, the performance leaned into everything that’s made Wilson such a global force right now: sharp songwriting, down to earth charm, and a genuine connection with her audience.
It’s been flagged as a standout moment in a show already packed with fan favourites, and a clear signal that this tour isn’t just about celebrating past hits, it’s about where she’s heading next.
Before hitting the stage, Wilson also shared a full-circle moment with local country star Kaylee Bell, who met the Grammy winning singer ahead of the show. The pair posed for photos backstage, a meeting that felt especially meaningful given Bell’s own rise and Wilson’s long-standing support of country artists across the globe.
With New Zealand officially ticked off the list and Australian dates rolling out next, Wilson’s Whirlwind World Tour is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about country runs of the year.
