This October, we’ve got plenty of treats (no tricks) …

Read on for a SXSW Sydney 2025 recap and updates from Crowded House, The Naked and Famous, Kaylee Bell, Lorde, The Beths, Bic Runga, Cassie Henderson, Balu Brigada and plenty more.

We’ve got another serving of monthly SoundBites – and for the biggest treat of them all, check out which artists from Aotearoa are playing in a city near you in our International Gig Guide for October!

Read our International Newsletter for October | Oketopa 2025 here.

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.
