Pulotu Underworld Road To Glasto Fundraiser Announced ft. MOKOTRON, Poppa Jax, Katayanagi Twins, DJ K-SWIZZ

Founded by Lady Shaka and innovators behind London's first ever Pacific club night, Pulotu Underworld are helping Māori and Pasifika artists to reach new audiences in the Northern Hemisphere. In June of this year they're curating a series of performances at England's iconic Glastonbury Festival, hosting 2025 Taite Music Prize winner MOKOTRON, Poppa Jax, Katayanagi Twins and two time DMC World DJ Champion DJ K-SWIZZ in the Shangri-La zone — a space themed around "growing community and connectedness". Show your support for these musical mega-talents by heading along to Pulotu Underworld Presents Road To Glasto Fundraiser at Tāmaki Makaurau's Neck of the Woods on 30th May, the last day of NZ Music Month / Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa. Here's the official lowdown...

"In June 2025, Pulotu Underworld will be taking over Glastonbury's Shangri La for the festival's first ever curation of Māori and Pacific DJs, Dancers and Musicians. This is the first time a Pacific Island collective has curated a stage at the festival and we are honoured to be showcasing Māori/ Pasifika excellence. This is more than a performance, this is history. Founder and Creative Director 'Lady Shaka' and her collective are opening international pathways for Māori and Pacific artists to share their tāonga with the world...

But we need your help to get there.

We’re raising funds to support five artists from Aotearoa to travel to the UK and represent our sounds and stories on a global stage.

The night will feature epic performances and DJ sets from all 5 artists heading to Glastonbury, including:

Mokotron (Ngāti Hine)
