American hitmaker Trey Songz has announced his first ever New Zealand tour for this November, and Tauranga is one of three locations that's made the list.

Presented by Mai FM, Pato Entertainment and Talk Later, the Grammy-nominated R&B sensation will play Logan Campbell in Auckland on November 3, ASB Bay Park Arena in Tauranga on November 6 and TSB Arena in Wellington on November 7.

The R16 tour follows hot on the heels of the success of his 2017 record, Tremaine the Album, which harked back to the R&B masterpieces that defined generations with their swagger and style.

The album has been described by Revolt TV as one which 'leaves you with an array of emotions” and 'yearning for more”; and by Billboard as 'sticking to his traditional landscape of love, sex and passion”.

Songz made his debut in 2005, smashing through with his first album, Gotta Make It and returned in 2007 with Trey Day.

Both records yielded the Top 10 singles ‘Girl Tonight', ‘Last Time' and ‘Can't Help But Wait' and established Songz as one of the most notable R&B singers in the world.

In 2009 he released Ready, which he swiftly followed in 2010 with Passion, Pain & Pleasure; the triumphant number-one RIAA Gold-Certified album Chapter V in 2012 and Trigga in 2014, which debuted at number-one on the Billboard charts and featured the hit single ‘Touchin', Lovin' featuring Nicki Minaj.

Since his arrival on the scene, Songz has achieved three Grammy Award nominations, landed back-to-back number-one debuts on the Billboard Top 200 and staunchly carried a tradition of classic R&B into the 21st century.

When he's not behind the mic, Songz can be found on the big screen, with roles in blockbusters such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D and Baggage Claim.

The chance to see one of R&B's most compelling figures live in concert in New Zealand is this November.

Tickets for the R16 Trey Songz New Zealand Tour go on sale Thursday August 2 at 7pm.

Tickets to the Tauranga and Auckland shows are available from the Ticket Fairy website with Wellington tickets available from Ticketmaster.
