Lenny Kravitz has started his southern return, and Auckland was first to witness his new tour in action. Lenny touched down with a setlist shaped by his three decade career, and Australia now has a predicted blueprint of what to expect next. Kravitz played Auckland on Saturday night, and the show leaned into classics, deep cuts, and a generous serve from his latest album Blue Electric Light.
Lenny Kravitz balanced new material with moments that shaped his ascent. He opened with Bring It On from It Is Time For A Love Revolution, then moved into Dig In from his 2001 album Lenny. TK421 from Blue Electric Light brought the 2024 sound, while Always On The Run from Mama Said proved the early hits remain untouchable. I Belong To You and Stillness Of Heart returned the audience to 1998 and 2001, and Believe from Are You Gonna Go My Way lifted the venue again.
He showcased Honey and Paralyzed from Blue Electric Light, and drifted into Low from Raise Vibration. The Chamber offered a chapter from Strut before he moved into the ballad I’ll Be Waiting. It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over and Again delivered the major global singles.
American Woman, Fly Away, and Are You Gonna Go My Way brought the night to a peak, with Let Love Rule closing the show.
