International Newsletters

Mānawatia a Matariki! 

As we celebrate the Māori New Year here in Aotearoa, we welcome the new beginnings, records and triumphs of our homegrown artists. From Pulotu Underworld‘s first Glastonbury set to Phoebe Rings‘ 7.8 in Pitchfork, there’s plenty for us to report on. 

Check out the latest on Glastonbury’s Aotearoa cohort, Phoebe Rings, Alien Weaponry, Lorde, The Beths and showcasing announcements for BIGSOUND 2025 and SXSW Sydney 2025. 

As per usual, we’ve got a healthy portion of Soundbites, followed by our hefty International Gig Guide for June 2025. 

Read our International Newsletter for June | Hune 2025 here.

If you know of any great news we can include in future editions, please let us know. We are always keen to know more about what Aotearoa artists are up to overseas. Just email info@nzmusic.org.nz with the details.
