International Newsletters

We’re eleven months into the year and our Aotearoa artists just keep on achieving amazing things on the world stage.

This November, we’ve seen Fazerdaze featured in more than 12 different media outlets, NO CIGAR‘s biggest headline shows to date in the UK, ratbag‘s Australian takeover and plenty more.

We’re also sending a big congratulations to our homegrown talent nominated at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards and the Recording Academy’s Grammy Awards.

Read on for all the details and celebrations, including a hefty portion of Sound Bites and, as always, the International Gig Guide for November – including details of some fantastic international support tours like Alien Weaponry with Slayer’s Kerry King through USA, Benee with Tate McRae across Europe, Halfqueen with Nia Archives around Australia – and of course Vera Ellen with Crowded House in the Lucky Country too.

This will be the last Music Commission International Newsletter for 2024, but we look forward to bringing you more news of awesome artists from Aotearoa in 2025.

Best wishes for a wonderful festive season from all of our team – Ngā mihi o te wā!
