Going Global™, Aotearoa’s renowned music summit and showcase event, is thrilled to announce its 2024 Aotearoa Artist lineup featuring 24 exceptional acts. Set to perform on Thursday August 29th and Friday August 30th, these artists represent the forefront of New Zealand’s diverse and vibrant music scene that are ready to take their craft to the world.

This year’s event promises to captivate both local audiences and the international music industry professionals that will be in attendance. NZ music fans are invited to experience the cutting-edge sounds and dynamic performances that define Aotearoa’s current musical landscape.

The showcase will take place at the iconic venues of Whammy! and its newly opened big sister space, Double Whammy! in St. Kevin’s Arcade on Auckland’s Karangahape Rd. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to discover new music spanning genres from indie pop to punk rock, electro and hip-hop to soul.

“We are at it again! 24 amazing bands across two nights, playing 20minute sets back-to-back-to-back, across three stages, all for a low ticket price… this is a party, a smorgasbord, a cornucopia of NZ artists blazing a trail across the night sky and having a damn good time doing it.” – Dylan Pellett, IMNZ GM
