Marlon Williams announces headline show at Dublin’s Button Factory

New Zealand singer-songwriter Marlon Williams has announced a headline show at Button Factory, Dublin, on April 11, 2026.

Williams will bring his band The Yarra Benders to the UK and Europe for the first time since 2022, performing material from his latest album Te Whare Tīwekweka alongside favourites from across his catalogue.

Te Whare Tīwekweka debuted at #1 in Aotearoa/New Zealand, becoming the first original Māori-language album to achieve that milestone.

Recorded with The Yarra Benders, the album was accompanied by the feature-length documentary Ngā Ao E Rua – Two Worlds.

In his recordings and live performances, Williams blends folk, country, and classic pop influences.

Born in Lyttelton, on New Zealand’s South Island, Williams first gained attention with his high-school band The Unfaithful Ways and later as part of a duo with Delaney Davidson.

His self-titled debut arrived in 2015, followed by Make Way For Love in 2018, My Boy in 2022, and Te Whare Tīwekweka in 2024.

In addition to his music career, Williams has acted in A Star Is Born, Sweet Tooth, True History of the Kelly Gang, The Rehearsal, and Bad Behaviour.

Tickets for Williams’ headline show will go on sale Friday, October 24 here.
