Special thanks to our partners who are integral in creating a gig-packed month of Kiwi music celebration and discovery.

Grabaseat
grabaseat is all about inspiring Kiwis to get amongst it, so what better way to encourage Kiwi music fans to support emerging talent in NZ than by offering cheap seats around the country to experience some really unique gigs. “New Zealand music has come a long way over the years,” says grabaseat Manager Duane Perrott. “So we’re stoked to be a part of helping New Zealand music go from strength to strength”. Look out for Opshop’s One Day... 10 Gigs as grabaseat fly them all over NZ in 24 hours.

42 Below
Much like an up and coming NZ band, 42BELOW was crafted in the depths of an old garage with little or no resources, driven by the love and passion for making something special.
“42BELOW has enjoyed a long relationship with the broader music community,” says 42Below Brand Manager Miranda Collins. “NZMM provides another opportunity to support this incredibly vibrant music scene and take NZ to the world”.
Look out for the transformation of Auckland Zoo's Old Elephant House as 42BELOW take over for one special VIP Night.

The Red Bull Live Sessions have showcased some of NZ's most exciting talent, both emerging and established, including 2010 performances from Pig Out, Kittyhawk, Artisan Guns, The Frisk and a smattering of International talent featuring the likes of The Gaslamp Killer, and DJ Kentaro.
“In the same vein as NZ Music Month, the Red Bull Studio has evolved over the last decade to become NZ's genre defying programme aimed at promoting NZ music to the world stage, providing a live performance platform, simultaneously broadcasted by radio stations nationwide.”
