DARTZ Winter Missions Shows Announced

Best Rock Artist 2025 Tūī winners DARTZ are sauntering back to active duty, uplifting spirits and fighting back via the unrelenting power of rawkus punk rock 'n' roll. Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington's force four of Daniel Vernon, Clark Mathews, Hakopa Kuka-Larsen and Christan Pianta have announced a sizzling stack of Winter Missions gigs for both sides of the ditch. They'll be hitting Ponsonby Road hotspot Goblin on 29th May and Kirikiriroa's Last Place on 31st May as a final salute to NZ Music Month / Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa, treating hometown fans to a performance at the Glasshead Records 1st Anniversary, then boosting to to Naarm's iconic The Tote and Brisbane's Dead Of Winter Festival during the tail end of June.

Gazing into our crystal ball, we can also see DARTZ will be sharing the stage with a little known overseas rock act named Foo Fighters, at Ōtautahi Christchurch's mammoth new One New Zealand Stadium on 19th January 2027. Don't you dare miss DARTZ this month and next at the following dates...

"Come through for:
- fresh cuts dug straight from the Album 3 hāngi pit
- a couple classics for the faithful
- quality merch table chat from travelling t-shirt salesmen DARTZ"
