Gig Information

Welcomer are embarking on their first nationwide headline tour to celebrate the release of their debut album Calendars, out June 12 via trusted DIY stalwarts, Papaiti Records.

Calendars follows a string of European shows in 2025 and a self titled EP which was described by Under the Radar as ‘melancholic splendour.. in swirls of harmonious goodness, each packed with presence and perfectly placed’. Single Nothing of You Remaining was described by Rolling Stone AU as “blending folk influences with strings for a warm, layered pop sound”.

Joined in Ōtautahi by Pickle Darling and Model Home

Pickle Darling is the project of Christchurch-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Lukas Mayo. After years of touring on previous albums, Bigness (2019), Cosmonaut (2021), and Laundromat (2023), and supporting artists like Lucy Dacus and The Beths, Pickle Darling's latest album, latest record 'Bots' is a collection of songs that feel like they could only ever exist on scratched CD-Rs passed between friends. Mayo continues to garner acclaim for their ability to elevate lo-fi indie pop tunes with a rounded-out, clean sound and a knack for building tiny, thoughtful worlds along the way.

Model Home are a Christchurch emo and post-rock band whose members came out of the city’s DIY scene, with connections to Coate and Earn Your Stripes. Formed in the late 2010s, the group blend melodic indie rock with the confessional intensity of contemporary emo, creating music that resonates with both local and international audiences.

Their debut EP Model Home (2019) introduced the band’s sound. The full-length …And Nobody Made a Sound (2023), released on Papaiti Records and False Peak Records, reached number eight on the New Zealand Albums Chart — a remarkable achievement for an independent release rooted in the underground.
