International Newsletters

Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends!

‘Tis the season for reflecting on the year that has been and celebrating all we have been grateful for! With 2,000+ performances on the global stage from Aotearoa artists and the hundreds of press highlights we’ve covered this year, we’re feeling incredibly grateful for the talent and teams behind another year of great successes.

Read on for updates from BENEE, Leroy Clampitt, Lorde, The Beths, Dion Lunadon, Parris Goebel and plenty more. To finish the year off, we have a whopping Soundbites section and mega International Gig Guide – this month stretching to ten pages! With 300+ international shows announced for 2026 already, it is is shaping up to be another colossal year for artists from Aotearoa taking their music to the world.

There won’t be a December issue of this newsletter, so we would like to wish you all a safe and fantastic festive season ahead. Kia pai ō rā hararei!
