Engelbert Humperdinck, the 'King of Romance', is returning to New Zealand in 2019 with his The Man I Want To Be tour.

The 82-year-old balladeer will perform in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington in late February and early March.

'The Man I Want To Be tour' takes its name from his latest album released last year, which marked his 50th anniversary in the music industry and also served as love letter to his wife Patricia of 53 years who is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.

Humperdinck last toured New Zealand in 2016, when he played Wellington, Napier and New Plymouth.

  • February 28 - Bruce Mason Centre, Auckland
  • March 2 - Isaac Royal Theatre, Christchurch
  • March 4 - Opera House, Wellington
