Corrella
Quickly making a name for themselves with their sun-soaked reggae-inspired sound, Corrella have become a new favourite on the Aotearoa music scene. Driven by rhythm guitiarist & hype man Te Naawe Tupe (Ngāi Tūhoe) & vocalists Pipiwharauroa & Ngawaiwera Campbell (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti He, Ngāti Pukenga), Corrella have spent 2024 honing their live show and completing a killer new album. Expect Corrella to continue to go from strength to strength as the album arrives just in time for summer.
Saritah
Saritah is a radiant singer-songwriter, musician and recording artist whose music is a healing force - heart-opening, spiritual, and deeply human. Born in Seoul, South Korea - her ancestral motherland - and raised on Nyoongar country in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia, Saritah brings a unique feminine blend of reggae and acoustic soul, and her songs pour love and hope into a world in need of both. Her lyrics are conscious, uplifting, and lovingly crafted, and she is driven by an unshakable belief in the power of music to awaken, inspire, and unite. Her voice, rich with compassion and purpose, calls us to revere life, remember our interconnectedness and embrace the gifts we each bring to the world.
Finn Alexander & the Forever Party
A potent blend of introspective alt-rock and explosive intensity, Finn Alexander and the Forever Party deliver a sound that strikes deep. Relentless, and electric, the bands live show has earned them a devoted following across Australia; through supports for the likes of Grace Cummings and Spacey Jane, extensive national touring, and sets at Wave Rock Weekender, Blues at Bridgetown and Nannup Music Festival. Their music weaves intricate melodies with moments of raw, rock catharsis, exploring themes of love, loss, and the unease of modern life. Bold, charged and impossible to ignore, the Forever Party are a band to watch in 2026.
