Anthonie Tonnon Announces Cinematographer Tour

Taite Music Prize-winning songwriter Anthonie Tonnon has announced the international tour for his immersive new live show, Cinematographer.

Premiering this October, the ambitious audio-visual performance will introduce an entirely new body of work.

Three years in the making, Cinematographer has combined live electronic music, cinematic storytelling and visual design into an immersive performance.

Featuring visual DJing by Erica Sklenars, videography by Theo Taylor, styling by Karlya Smith and design by Daniel Alexander, the show will see Anthonie pushing his live performance into ambitious new territory.

The Cinematographer tour will premiere in Auckland before travelling to Whanganui, Christchurch, Wellington, and then internationally to Melbourne and London.

Following the headline dates, Anthonie will join The Veils for an 18-date tour across Europe and the UK throughout November and December 2026.

Fans will also get their first taste of the new single, “Executive Assistant,” which will be released on Tuesday, the 28th of July, his first new music in three years.

Created alongside longtime collaborator and producer Jonathan Pearce (The Beths), the track introduces the sonic world of Cinematographer, blending chopped live-band recordings with acid basslines and four-on-the-floor rhythms inspired by late-’90s and early-2000s DJ-driven pop music.

The song was mixed by Bevan Smith (Introverted Dancefloor, Glass Vaults, The Beths).

The single will be released alongside an official music video, supported by NZ On Air. Directed by Kristy Pearson, with visual mixing by Erica Sklenars, cinematography by Theo Taylor, styling by Karlya Smith and design by Daniel Alexander, the video will be available as both a single edit and a seven-minute extended mix.
