​

Described as “better than the original artist” by The 13th Floor for his standout performance in Eddie Rayner’s ENZO show with members of Split Enz, and “heart-rending” by Stuff, Phil Madsen is a seasoned performer whose voice, musicianship, and stage presence have seen him share the spotlight with global icons including Cher, Air Supply, Spandau Ballet, The Pointer Sisters, and Boyzlife (featuring members of Westlife and Boyzone).

​

Phil’s extensive career includes two Top 20 hits, a Top Male Vocalist Award from the NZ Variety Artists Club, and headline performances at some of New Zealand’s most iconic events – including the America’s Cup celebrations, Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park, and the SKYCITY Starlight Symphony.

From Rock Anthems to Dance-floor Hits

His setlist spans decades and styles - covering legends like Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Guns N’ Roses, Journey, Dire Straits, INXS, Cold Chisel, and Metallica, through to Tina Turner, Dua Lipa, and – in a moment of good-humoured self-awareness - even Britney Spears.

​

No two shows are the same. With a huge repertoire and a strong connection to the crowd, Phil adapts each performance to suit the event - from intimate acoustic moments to high-energy dance-floor tracks, creating an experience that feels tailor-made.
