International Newsletters

This past month, we’ve been busy at the Music Commission with all things New Zealand Music Month | Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa, celebrating the wonderful achievements our local artists here at home – and with over 100 shows by New Zealand artists around the globe just during May, there has been plenty to celebrate for Aotearoa artists on the world stage too. As always, scroll to the bottom of the newsletter to see the International Gig Guide which has more than 470 shows coming up before the end of the year.

Read on for news about NZ at The Great Escape and Music Matters in Singapore, Black Smoke Trigger‘s big rock support, Benee‘s big pop support, Alien Weaponry‘s NYC film premiere, October and the Eyes’ super-fashionable collab, Earth Tongue‘s massive and ever growing European tour, the Kiwis at Open Season in Brisbane and plenty more in the Sound Bites.

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.
