What's On

Shaskey & AKL MADZ bring their collaborative EP CODEPENDENCE to the stage for their first headline tour.

CODEPENDENCE explores how life shapes who we become: through grief, ambition, love, bad habits, friendship - the healthy and unhealthy forms of dependence that we experience.

See the EP live in Tūranganui-a-Kiwa at Smash Palace, with support from beka gray.

Join us on The New Dawn Tour , a powerful leap into a new musical frontier.

Having moved from the pop scene into the
rock and now into an even heavier sound, this tour marks the start of an epic new chapter.

Alongside all the hits you know and love, you’ll experience the hard hitting new
anthem “ Wembley” and a bigger, bolder show than ever before.
You’ll be part of something larger than life, an adventure we’ll all take together. The New Dawn Tour is where the journey begins, and each night is the next chapter of an
epic tale. Don’t miss the Dawn of something extraordinary.
