2025, another putrid rotten avocado of a year will be mildly improved by the ridiculously exciting news that New Zealand’s favourite ever chumps The Phoenix Foundation are heading out on tour and releasing their first new music since 2020 (remember that shithole of a year, was life BETTER THEN WTF?). 

“I don't know if ‘love sickness’ is a real thing but it sure feels real - this song is a product of that.”

It’s time to truly sink your teeth into the local music scene, and there’s no better time than now! With a lineup of Auckland's finest up-and-coming artists, park yourself up at The Picnic to enjoy sets from Macey, Marmalade, The Dawns, Fan Club, and Psycho Gab.

Hot off her appearance at GO Live Festival in July and preparing for her summer circuit debut at Nostalgia Festival early next year, Phoebe Vic releases Wasn’t That Deep - a fierce and firmly tongue-in-cheek, self deprecating diss-track about an online dating app match gone sour.

After a 14-year career that started with his acclaimed debut Lucky Man (2013), SWISS, a Proud Tongan NZ is back to take the industry by storm with his long-awaited second album, PEPA. 

This EP showcases Caitlin’s signature blend of indie-folk and alt-pop, delving deep into personal and reflective themes

Striving to create an album that is ‘‘frustratingly quiet’’ High Horse is a dark yet warm, reverb soaked, rainy day collection of loner anthems.

Yurt Party is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, "Fela," originally inspired by the Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, and transmogrified by the band’s signature mischief, flair and dub.
