**LADYHAWKE (DJ Set)
Headlining the night! Award-winning New Zealand artist Ladyhawke makes a long-awaited return to DJing, bringing her trademark mix of infectious energy and impeccable taste back to the dancefloor.
Best known for her genre-bending hits like My Delirium and Paris Is Burning, Ladyhawke’s DJ sets blend nostalgic anthems, Disco House, House and unexpected deep cuts — that will keep you moving all night!
**Bec Sandridge (Aus)
Discovering Bec Sandridge feels like being let in on a secret.
A queer-pop shapeshifter with sharp angles, step-down black-and-white hair, and a voice somewhere between David Byrne and Kate Bush, Sandridge has been bending pop into performance art for over a decade. Her new single Always A Fan— co-produced with Nick Zaharias (MAY-A, The Buoys)—is the first from her upcoming album Happy Futures, featuring collaborators like Tony Buchen (G Flip, Smashing Pumpkins), Dave Jenkins Jr (Daniel Johns, Vera Blue, and Grammy-winner Cian Riordan (St Vincent, Lana Del Rey).
She’s supported Mitski, St. Vincent, Tegan and Sara, Ladyhawke, Kimbra, Yungblud; played
Reeperbahn, World Pride, Falls Festival; and appeared on The L Word, Q+A, and at Sydney Opera House.
Sandridge’s bold blend of theatre, fuzz pedals, and queer angst earned her Triple J rotation, an ISC finalist nod, and a sold-out 2024 Great Southern Nights show—the first in the series to do so.
Pop—bent, broken, and reassembled into something radically her own.
**Ardon England
Ardon England is a high impact live electronic artist from Aotearoa, delivering explosive, dancefloor driven performances that blur the line between club set and pop spectacle.
A proud Māori, queer artist with over two decades in the dance industry, Ardon’s shows are built around movement, precision, and presence — full body performance meets electronic pop at peak energy.
**Dateline
Led by bandleader Katie Everingham, Wellington’s stubborn driven indie-rocker’s deliver a performance that oozes emotion by blending earnest harmonies that hark back to early oo's indie pop, with cool burn of UK guitar groups from the 90s.
**Tahini Bikini
Pōneke based salad funk band. Dousing Aotearoa with smooth grooves & hummus.
Known for their distinctive sound, a combination of funk, soul and pop rock influences elevated by frontwoman Mads Taylor’s frank, feisty lyrics and smoky voice.
