MAIN STAGE ARTISTS
LA WOMEN
Auckland based indie-pop trio LA WOMEN are a band formed through brotherhood. Coming of age in small towns at the bottom of the world, an online upbringing allowed the trio to shape themselves musically. Soon they would become a genre nonconforming product of the internet, drawing from limitless influences including alternative rock, R&B, funk, hip hop and pop.
REIKI RUAWAI
Reiki Ruawai, a bona fide talent emerging from the vibrant West Coast of Raglan. With his enchanting vocals and soul-drenched melodies, Reiki casts a hypnotic spell, leaving listeners entranced. His music, a mesmerising fusion of R&B, dance, and soul, pulses with raw emotion and an infectious rhythm that speaks directly to the heart.
LOCALS ONLY
Locals Only aptly describe themsevles as “four locals that play indie music.” Showcasing their talents with recent releases ‘Green’ & ‘Luna',’ they’re another great upcoming act on the rise.
JUNIOR JUNIOR
Fresh on the music scene, the vibrant and talented Kiwi band JUNIOR JUNIOR are already making waves with their recently released debut EP, ‘In The Light’. They may have only been performing together for 8 months but are already making a name for themselves with their unique sound, which seamlessly blends summer-infused surf rock, soft rock, and funk-rock. Their mix of Samoan, Māori, and Pākehā heritage is also eminent in their sound and style.
YAHYAH
After cutting her chops as a songwriter in London and Los Angeles, where she worked with some of the industry's most acclaimed songsmiths, YAHYAH has decided to let her own voice lead the way for her musical expressions. Within a year of her first release, YAHYAH has been a mainstay of local streaming charts with her blend of RnB, Jazz, Pop and Dance; while her live shows have been characterised by energetic and passionate performances.
THE RVMES
