Earth Tongue & Troy Kingi – Double Whammy: June 14, 2025
It was strange stepping into a venue that felt both completely new and intimately familiar – like walking forward and moving backward in time.
Jessica Pratt & Tiny Ruins – Bruce Mason Centre: June 11, 2025
There’s awkward silence, and then there’s quiet. Somehow Jessica Pratt managed to keep a thousand or so people quiet for just under an hour and there was nothing awkward about it. In fact it was sublime.
Japanese Breakfast – Auckland Town Hall: June 7, 2025 (13th Floor Concert Review)
Japanese Breakfast made their much-anticipated New Zealand concert debut last night, bringing their Melancholy Tour to a full house at Auckland’s iconic Town Hall.
Hollie Smith – Artworks Theatre, Waiheke Island: June 6, 2025
This year NZ Music Month is leaking into June. At least on Waiheke where Hollie Smith has brought The Bones Tour to the island’s theatre. Sold out and not surprising. Despite only 40 minutes away by ferry, we rarely get the bigger names in Kiwi music here.
