The musical comedy duo announced on Tuesday that they will perform four shows at the Wellington venue Meow Nui next week. Tickets went on sale on Wednesday and sold out within 30 minutes. The shows will serve as a warm-up for the band's upcoming performances at the Netflix Is a Joke festival in Los Angeles in May, where they are scheduled for two shows.
Flight of the Conchords, formed by Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement in 1998, rose to worldwide fame through their HBO comedy series, featuring hits like Business Time and Hiphopopotamus vs Rhymenoceros. Many fans felt disappointed after missing out on tickets for the Wellington shows.
