Event Details

Jack Black and Kyle Gass, otherwise known as rock music icons Tenacious D, will bring their riff laden rock rollercoaster to The O2 on Friday 16 June 2023.

The acclaimed musical duo returns to London to showcase their rock greatness to their army of loyal fans.  This will be Tenacious D’s first show in the UK since 2019, their live experience is an energetic, rock rollercoaster of fun that will take fans on a journey of their exhilarating catalogue of classic hits.

Tenacious D have had a busy few months, with the release of a medley of songs from the rock musical, Tommy by The Who in support of Everytown For Gun Safety, as well as launching their own fibre bars in the US, Fibre D’Lish and doing what they love best, hitting the road for a string of sold out US dates.

About Tenacious D

Tenacious D had a variety series on HBO that aired in 1999, they went on to release their platinum self-titled album in the fall of 2001.  The duo completed their first feature film together – ‘Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny’ - for New Line Cinema, which was released in November, 2006 to critical acclaim followed by the album ‘Rize of the Fenix’ in 2012, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. In 2013 Black and Gass founded and hosted ‘Festival Supreme’, a music and comedy festival in Los Angeles, CA. In its first four years, ‘Festival Supreme’ boasted acts such as Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, Flight of the Conchords, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Patton Oswalt, Eric Andre, Amy Poehler, Workaholics, & many more.  In 2014 they won a Grammy in the category of Best Metal Performance for their cover of Ronnie James Dio’s ‘The Last In Line’.  On November 2, 2018, Tenacious D released ‘Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto’ – an animated film, with each frame hand-drawn by Black and every character voiced by Black and Gass. Alongside the film, the band also dropped the album ‘Post-Apocalypto’.  In September, 2020 - with great excitement - Tenacious D released the final piece to the Post-Apocalypto universe: ‘The Graphic Novel’.

In 2022 and beyond Tenacious D continue their quest to spread the message of rock n roll across the world and firmly retain their title as one of the greatest rock bands in the world.  Ever.

Cult comedy duo from Los Angeles, Tenacious D became one of the biggest stars of the 90s and 00s, spawning a television show, several albums and a Hollywood blockbuster.

Jack Black (born August 28th, 1969) and Kyle Gass (born July 40th 1960) are certainly an unlikely pair for rock stardom. But with their inspired songwriting, witty humor and boundless energetic charisma, the pair have forged their way into rock history. Their rock-parodies, with Black's absurd comedic vocals alongside Gass' acoustic guitar talents have made them into a household name, with their debut album achieving Platinum certification.

Having met at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, both travelling with LA's theatre troupe, 'The Actors' Gang,' they decided to form a band, initially performing covers of Bobby McFerrin songs. Having worked on a collection of songs, they recorded a demo, which managed to secure a TV show with HBO in 1997. The project was short-lived but it helped gain further attention.

In May 2000, the duo signed to Epic Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in 2001, which peaked at number 33 on the Billboard 200. The band used the drumming talents of Nirvana's Dave Grohl on the record and all recordings thereafter. The album has slowly built in its success, becoming a cult hit, with the song "Tribute" and its accompanying video becoming a massive hit.

Having completed the screenplay in 2003, Tenacious D went on to release their film, "The Pick Of Destiny" in 2006, with its accompanying soundtrack. Whilst the film flopped, the soundtrack reached number eight on the Billboard Charts in the US and number 10 in the UK charts.

After several tours and successful mainstay performance at 2008's Reading and Leeds Festival, Tenacious D returned to the studio and recorded "Rize of the Fenix," released in 2012 to positive critical acclaim.

Live reviews

Tenacious D - the kings of gross-out comedy rock - are a strange proposition, on paper at least. Jack Black, of course, has now long been established as a Hollywood star, but this musical project, which dates back to the nineties, is clearly a labour of love for him and his partner, Kyle Gass. Their 2011 comeback record, Rise of the Fenix, provided a clear indication of two things - one, that Black’s enthusiasm for the D hasn’t been diminished by his time rubbing shoulders with A-listers, and two, that he hadn’t forgotten what his audience want either.

Take their live show, for instance; the full band setup means there’s no shortage of genuinely impressive musicianship - especially now that the unplayably complex ‘Master Exploder’, previously mimed, has been dropped from the set - but the duo are also clearly aware that the crowd are coming to laugh as well as listen. They’ve been accompanied on their most recent tour by an inflatable Fenix mascot - which looks suspiciously like something else - and set highlights include a re-enactment of the ‘Beelzeboss’ final showdown from The Pick of Destiny, as well as a rendition of the wonderfully self-aware ‘The Ballad of Hollywood Jack and Rage Kage’. And to close proceedings, they’ve got one of the greatest singalongs in recent rock history up their sleeves - ‘Tribute’.

Report as inappropriate

Tenacious D, the brain child of Jack Black and Kyle Gass began as something of a crude in-joke between friends that appears to have rapidly span out of control much to the delight of their global fan base. A strange combination of comedy and rock which only Black and Gass could really pull off, their albums have been slowly rising up the charts and as a result the stages have been ever-increasing in size.

The crowd waits in hushed anticipation chattering about the show they are about to witness, for those who have not seen the duo before there is heated discussion about the balance between comedy and rock. The band definitely seems intent on making the crowd laugh as opposed to mosh during the likes of 'Dude (I Totally Miss You)' and crass opener 'Kickapoo'.

They have the added benefit of the confidence that comes with being comedians when performing as they are totally at home onstage and have no issue baying the audience, or indeed victimising certain members with their humour. By the finale of 'Double Team' the audiences hands are sore from clapping and their cheeks sore from laughing thunderously.

I love Tenacious D and have seen them before and had a great time. This performance was entirely different . It was basically a series of animations shown on big screens, which took up most of the show, with brief interludes where The D performed

We left early as it was so disappointing, but I saw no interaction with the crowd, and it felt like JB and KG didnt even want to be there.

Left before the end and felt cheated tbh.

The animations are available on YouTube, so could have watched them for free.

Also was lead to believe I had bought seats at the front of the section chosen, but ended up at the back

This had happened to the people sitting next to me as well.

There were other people leaving early too, saying the same as me about the performance.

Such a shame.

Very fun and entertaining show! Don't bring children, saw a few people that did and I definitely questioned their parenting abilities.

Sit or stand where you can see the entire screen covering the stage. The first third or half of the show was an animated movie based on their newest album with them playing songs, interspersed throughout, from behind the projector screen. We made the mistake of only being able to see the front area of the stage and missed seeing most that first part. Sounded good though!

Tenacious D was as energetic and ridiculous as expected. Jables and Rage Kage are very talented musicians, sounded amazing live, and we thoroughly enjoyed the show!

This band is amazing, this venue is amazing, the night was perfect. I can wish for drinks to be cheaper, to not have to drop $40 to feel buzzed, but that's how concerts are... We got some merch before the show, the line kept moving. Nice that it wasn't as big a venue as last time I saw Tenacious D at CalJam. The opening act was ok, I get that their founding member is part of Tenacious D so they want to support him, but it really wasn't everyone's jam. I was surprised Tenacious D played almost the entirety of Apocalypto straight through. Then, of course, their greatest hits afterward. The projection storytelling was awesome.

This being the second time my wife and I saw The D on this tour, they did not disappoint at all!!! Jables and Kage always put on a hell of a show, keeping the audience constantly entertained and hyped up. I will forever remember this show: from watching the opening band Wynchester to The D's encore song of "F.H.G"!!! I will see them each and every time they come near. Even if I have to travel to the Red Rock's again or the Bomb Factory, I will do it. If you are questioning whether or not to see this band live, don't hesitate, just buy the ticket and be prepared to have your face melted to sh*t.

T'was sweaty, fat and beardy. Amazing voice on JB. Great time had by all...except that guy that OD'd in the crowd during the opening Wynchester set. Think he was alright eventually but scared the bejesus out of a lot of ppl. Think the paramedics could have gotten to him quicker then they did. Venue not very organized (took over 10 minutes to attend to him laying out cold on the floor). Come on guys.

Once the whole Apocalypto thing was over it was a fine concert. I felt very ripped off that they played so much of that video, you can see the whole thing online so I don't want to see it live. Really took away a lot of the magic of the experience for me. Once they finished that though, it was a great show.

That was the greatest and best show in the WORLD! PERIOD!!! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D!

It's amazing how high energy and amazing those guys still are!

Full two hours of an amazing show!

Started with apocalypto video + songs and "ended" with almost hour and a half of the greatest hits.

Truly the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD.

Tenacious D

Following a coast to coast sold out tour of North America, acclaimed rock duo and basically everyone’s favorite band ever Tenacious D -- comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass -- will be taking one of 2018’s most talked-about series/albums across the pond for a very special, two-night-only show run at London’s OVO Arena Wembley.  Keep an eye on the band’s socials for upcoming pre-sale info!

The band are touring in support of their latest release, the brilliant Post-Apocalypto , which is both an animated series AND an album of rock ‘n’ roll greatness.  Post-Apocalypto - THE SERIES - is an original, six-part animated video series from the minds of Tenacious D.  Each frame of every episode was hand-drawn by Jack himself, with every character voiced by Black and Gass.  

WATCH POST-APOCALYPTO NOW.

All six episodes feature new Tenacious D songs, culminating in the new Tenacious D album -- also called Post-Apocalypto -- available on DSP’s and in stores now.  Produced by John Spiker, and featuring long-time collaborator Dave Grohl on drums, Post-Apocalypto - THE ALBUM - is a genius addition to The D’s already scintillating catalogue of rock greatness.

True to the title, Post-Apocalypto finds Tenacious D thrust into a world of complete and utter destruction following the drop of an atomic bomb.  Surviving the attack in classic cinematic fashion (a good old imperishable 1950’s refrigerator), the duo quickly learns that new forms of evil have spawned from the blast.  One thing becomes apparent -- for humanity to prevail, Tenacious D must save the world.

GRAMMY® award winning dynamic duo   Tenacious D , featuring   Jack Black  and  Kyle Gass , will bring their Spicy Meatball Tour to Aotearoa with a show at our place!

Before they were known as the best rock band on earth, the former theatre students first formed Tenacious D back in the late ‘90s in Los Angeles. No one could have ever dreamed of where the band’s genius would take them, but take them it did... 

Beloved by fans and critics worldwide, the Tenacious D journey includes a hit HBO variety series in 1999, a Platinum-certified self-titled album in 2001, and a feature film – Tenacious D

Just last year Tenacious D launched The Spicy Meatball Tour, performing in 24 cities and selling out London’s O2 the week it was announced. They released their latest hit song ‘Video Games’ – their first new track in five years – and paid tribute to Chris Issak with a viral hit take on his classic ‘Wicked Game’. And finally in December 2023 Jack Black delivered another smash with his surprise hit ballad ‘Peaches’ from the Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Tenacious D remains the Greatest Band That Ever Played on Planet Earth, selling out shows worldwide…. Don’t miss the one and only Tenacious D, when they return to New Zealand this July!

Tickets on sale at 12pm, Fri 9 February from Ticketmaster New Zealand.
