Today marks the eve of our 31-day celebration of homegrown music across the motu. And as you’ll read in this newsletter, there is plenty to celebrate all around the world!

This NZ Music Month, we’ve got Aotearoa artists performing right across the globe, including our 11 artist-strong cohort headed to The Great Escape. Read on for additional updates from Unknown Mortal Orchestra, 9lives, SXMPRA and more!

Check out a great helping of Soundbites and an amazing 100 artists from Aotearoa in our latest International Gig Guide!
