The National will perform at the Villa Maria Winery in Auckland's Mangere in February 2018.

The Grammy-nominated indie rockers were last in New Zealand for the 2016 Auckland City Limits festival and are about to release their seventh album, Sleep Well Beast, in September.

One child per ticketed adult will be allowed into the all-ages gig for free.

The National are highly acclaimed, credited by Rolling Stone as being one of the world's 50 greatest live acts and with four of their previous records on NME's 500 greatest albums of all time list

The Villa Maria Winery boasts a natural amphitheatre volcanic crater for bands to play in, nestled amongst its vines.

Ticket buyers are encouraged to bring a picnic and their own blankets and chairs to the show.

The National perform at the Villa Maria Winery on Sunday, February 25, 2018, with tickets going on sale September 1.
