Happy Lunar New Year!

It’s the year of the fire horse and we can definitely say, our Aotearoa artists have been burning it up across the world! We’ve got not one, not two, but THREE cover stars this month and over 200 shows added to the international schedule.

Read on for news on BENEE, Balu Brigada, Bic Runga, Marlon Williams, Yumi Zouma and more.

As per usual, we’ve got our Soundbites fit for a New Year hākari (feast/celebration) and our International Gig Guide boasting almost 700 upcoming shows of Aotearoa artists on the global stage.
