Bringing his provocative and humorous spoken-word show to Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch in April 2012 as part of The Long March world tour.

For 30 years Rollins has been in the spotlight, as frontman for US punks Black Flag and the Rollins Band, and touring the world as a spoken-word artist, collecting new fans with his no-holds-barred opinions and observations.

Rollins is one of the most inspiring and interesting commentators and entertainers of his generation. His curiosity to learn from new experiences, combined with a hunger for travel, help shape anecdotes that connect with audiences worldwide.

This tour is appropriately called The Long March – his NZ shows come straight after 31 gigs in Europe and 26 in the US, all in early 2012. After New Zealand, Hank crosses the Tasman for shows in 11 cities around Australia.

Rollins is a solitary traveller with an insatiable curiosity. His recent destinations included North Korea, Mongolia, Bhutan, Vietnam, India, Tibet, Sudan, Uganda, Cuba and Haiti (where he met locals struggling to recover their lives from the earthquake two years ago).

This year has also seen the release of his book Occupants, a collection of his own essays and photos; the continuation of his weekly eclectic radio show on KCRW, the filming of a new TV series for National Geographic about those who own and consume exotic creatures; as well as finding time to perform at European festivals.
