International Newsletters

‘Twas the eve before NZ Music Month…

This newsletter we’re celebrating some fantastic achievements from Lady Shaka, Lorde, Marlon Williams, ratbag, The Beths and more. We’re also wishing safe travels to all our NZ artists representing Aotearoa at Focus Wales and The Great Escape next month.

And as always, we’ve got a hearty helping of Soundbites and our International Gig Guide – we’re looking at over 45 NZ artists performing across the globe in May alone! Wherever you are in the world, we encourage you to check out an abundance of amazing New Zealand music in your neighbourhood.

For our friends in London, read below for a free event in NZ Music Month at The Pacific Tavern from our friends at Spacific, showcasing nine hours straight of 100% New Zealand music!

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.
