Marlon Williams Announces Nelson Show at Trafalgar Centre on 27 May 2026
Marlon Williams has announced a very significant tour. It’s one that is truly for fans, and one that also marks a temporary departure from the stage for Marlon himself.
After an intensive time making latest album Te Whare Tīwekaweka and over two years filming the Ngā Ao E Rua – Two Worlds (2025) documentary Marlon has decided to take a sabbatical from the spotlight. Rest and rejuvenation are on the horizon, but not before kiwi fans get to see him live for a cheerful hurrah, a see you soon of sorts…
Marlon Williams and The Yarra Benders are warming up to bring it all home. This is a heartfelt coming together of fans and whanau for Marlon. He invites you to travel through his musical repertoire to date and be in the room before he takes a step back from the stage…. for now.
On the 27th May, Marlon Williams is performing at the Trafalgar Centre in Nelson.

Hands Up for Hospice 2026
Hands Up for Hospice is fast approaching, and our community is already starting to come together in incredible ways.
We are proud to share that the Yondi Foundation has come on board as the naming rights sponsor for the campaign marking a significant and meaningful partnership grounded in a shared commitment to community care.
With Yondi Foundation’s support as Naming Rights Sponsor, the 2026 campaign is set to build even greater momentum and with a funding shortfall of around $12,300 a day, this funding is vital.

What if exploring Nelson felt like a game?
Now, Purple Man is out there… somewhere in the city.
He’s been spotted in your favourite retail shops, cafés, restaurants, and local businesses across Nelson — but he’s not making it easy.
To make things interesting, he wants you to figure out exactly where he was. Hidden in plain sight across some of Nelson’s most recognisable spots, he’s waiting to be found. Each week, we’ll drop a new clue.
Your mission? Spot Purple Man, guess the location, and go in the draw to WIN one of 10 Panasonic Bluetooth speakers.
This Week’s Clue
A stylish spot with vintage charm, set inside a classic glass-fronted building with towering pillars. Inside, you’ll find a nod to a 1960s Italian icon — think scooters, bold design, and plenty of character.
Purple Man was here… do you know where?
GUESS NOW
The giveaway runs from Wednesday 5 May. One winner will be announced every Monday for 10 weeks.
