Weekly Roundup: Friday 10th July

It was a massive week for Tāmaki Makaurau superstars The Beths, who launched their long-awaited second album Jump Rope Gazers today, played their final Live From House livestream event to fans across the globe (and a small studio audience) this morning, and will be performing to a sold out Powerstation on Saturday night. You can still grab tickets for their forthcoming release tour in August, September and November right here, including a just-revealed second date at Pōneke's San Fran – we advise you move fast or it'll be tears before bedtime.

Announcement highlights for the week included Pōneke metal masters Beastwars will be thundering across Aotearoa on a three date headline tour this coming August, Bulletbelt are embarking on a thirteen stop tour for their epic new album Warlords, and Aotearoa's premier celebration of punk rock and ska Punk It Up V unveiled fresh dates for February 2020, to ensure Australian-based headliners can make it to the two-night extravaganza. We also put together a handy run-down on the awesomely diverse events happening at Tāmaki Makaurau's Ponsonby Social Club in July, feast your eyes and ears on what's happening this month here.
