We reported earlier this week that Jimmy Buffett will play a show in Auckland, New Zealand while Down Under, and it now appears we have a date, but the venue is still a mystery.

According to Eventfinder.co.nz the concert will be held on Saturday, January 29th.

The site says that the small venue location will be announced in early January, with tickets going on sale January 5th.

Limited tickets will be available to people who wait-list through Eventfinder. Tickets will be allocated to people who have registered on the Jimmy Buffett Eventfinder pre-sale wait list prior to going on sale to the general public in January. To register on the wait list, click on the “Join Wait List” button on the event page.

Four lucky people who register on the wait list prior to 5 January will win a double pass to this special New Zealand appearance. In addition, two ticket holders will win a chance for themselves and three friends to meet Jimmy Buffett at the show.

Jimmy Buffett announced today that he’ll be returning to Paris again in 2011.

He’ll take his show to The Olympia on Monday, September 26th!

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, December 15th through gdp.fr.

Australian fans have been waiting for over 20 years, but the wait will soon be over. Jimmy Buffett appeared on the Australian Today Show today and announced that he’ll perform at the Sydney Opera House on January 23rd and 24th.

At the end of the recorded message, Jimmy strummed a few lines of Men at Work’s “Land Down Under.”

Tickets go on sale Friday, December 17th at 9 am local. Prices are $169.00 and $119.00. Find out how to gain access to presale tickets here.

Richard Wilkins, entertainment editor for the Today Show, said Jimmy will also play a show in New Zealand while down under.
