For tour managers, promoters, and artists, we provide the ultimate solution for a seamless tour with consistent, high-quality production in every venue.
Your Partner for Touring Success
Taking a show on the road can be a logistical challenge. At The Rock Factory, we specialise in simplifying tour production across New Zealand. We understand that consistency is key—a great show requires a consistent experience in every venue. That’s why we provide a complete production solution, from a dedicated truck full of professional PA and lighting equipment to our experienced crew, who help handle setup, pack-down, and driving. This turnkey approach ensures you get the same high-quality sound and look, no matter where your tour takes you.
Our expertise is built on years of experience with a diverse range of artists, from tribute bands to local & internationally renowned acts.
Our Experience: A Legacy of Successful Tours
We’ve proudly supported numerous successful tours, including:
- The Best of the Bee Gees (August 2025 North Island Tour): We provided a full truck of PA and lighting gear with two dedicated crew members, ensuring every show was a success.
- Tribute Bands: We’ve toured with the acclaimed Led Zeppelin tribute band Lead Zipline, and the cherished covers band White Chapel Jak, helping them deliver their signature sound to sold-out crowds.
- The Lady Killers: We’ve had the pleasure of touring with the iconic DIVAS theme and a full backing band (Jackie Clarke, Tina Cross, and Suzy Lynch), a highly praised show that sold out two nights in Tauranga and was popular in other centres of New Zealand.
- The acclaimed Jackie Clarke Goes Prima Diva Tour.
- Nathan Haines Gigs Nationwide.
- Shane Cortese and the 8-Track Band gigs nationwide.
- Camp a Low Hum: Our early experiences with nationwide tours for Camp a Low Hum were a great training ground, honing our skills for bigger productions.
- John Mulvey NZ Tour with Vortex Tribe.
- Bic Runga Nationwide Tour with band in 2020

The Problem with Local House Systems
Many venues, especially smaller pubs and halls, have in-house systems that may not be sufficient for a professional touring act. Using our own high-end touring PA system in a truck allows you to bypass this issue entirely. You can count on consistent audio quality, a familiar console layout, and a predictable sound for every gig. This approach gives artists the confidence they need to deliver their best performance every time. We can also help with the preparation of an in-ear rack, wistage splits, and all onstage microphone & monitor requirements.

We offer a flexible suite of services designed to meet the specific needs of tour managers and promoters.
