Griff's first two albums Ashes and Diamonds and Figvres were re-released both on CD and on iTunes in June 2012. In November 2012 they were released in a special Japanese release with bonus songs. In 2011 Griff returned to live music. After a series of live concerts in his homeland New Zealand, he returned to the London stage in October 2012, when he was a guest in Toyah's live show "Resurrection" in O2 Islington. In September 2014, Griff did two live concerts in Tokyo, Japan. In 2016 Zaine Griff joined the New Zealand tribute concerts ‘David Bowie is waiting in the sky’ with a large group of New Zealand artists. He sang several Bowie songs, among them “Let’s Dance” and “Golden Years” - video’s of which can be seen on YouTube. In 2018 Zaine performed live at The Water Rats in London for a select group of fans. Tony Visconti, who produced many Bowie albums and also Zaine Griff’s first solo-album, joined Zaine on stage to play bass on the song “The Scandinavian”. Visconti had also done that during the recording of the album ‘’Ashes And Diamonds’’ in 1979. In April 2013, Griff released his fourth album The Visitor in Auckland, produced by Eddie Rayner of Split Enz. Later that year, Griff found a box of old studio demo recordings he thought were long lost. They were recorded in London between 1978 and 1983, and consisted of three early versions of songs he re-recorded years later for his album Figvres. There were also nine songs which were unknown until they were released. In an Auckland studio, he had the tapes repaired and the demos remastered before he released them as his fifth album Immersed in May 2014. In January 2016 Griff released his sixth solo album Mood Swings, which has a more European sound that reminds his early eighties albums, according to Zaine Griff’s own comments on the album. A new and special rerelease of Zaine Griff's early albums Ashes and Diamonds and Figvres was released in August 2017 on a 2CD pack in MIG Records Collectors Premium Series. It's a very special release as beside the remastered albums it consists 21 mostly unknown and unreleased demo's, rare songs and outtakes. In 2020 Zaine Griff was asked to be frontman for the “Visage 1980 x 2020” concerts in England and Belgium, organised by Rusty Egan around the 40 years anniversary
