SOJØURN is fired up for summer, and to celebrate, we are going on tour. Fresh off the back of releasing three singles in short succession, the boys are keen to hit the road and play all their new tunes, plus all of your old SOJ faves. Taking in a couple of very fun festivals including Le Currents & Shipwrecked, along with playing at home in Northland, Raglan, and Auckland, summer never sounded so good.

Get set for a stellar summer as PARK RD and Foley team up to co-headline a series of shows across the North Island! Kicking off in January 2025, this duo will bring their signature sounds to some of our most beloved summer venues, Waihi Beach Hotel, Yard Bar, Totara St, and Leigh Sawmill.

PARK RD have had a mega 2024! Releasing their debut album The Novel, supporting The Rions across a sold-out Australia tour, selling out their own headline New Zealand & Australian tour dates all while working on a sophomore album. PARK RD are on a high & are set to take on this summer with new tunes & the attitude to match.

Debuting their first new music since their 2023 debut album CROWD PLEASER, Foley have smashed 2024 with a run of effervescent singles ‘Miss You All The Time’, Unstable & Time Of My Life alongside ‘Low and High’.  This year saw the duo become Aotearoa Music Award nominees (Best Pop Artist), enjoy a sold out five-date tour through Los Angeles and New York in April/May & be featured on the recent season finale of The Kardashians.

Excited to get over to their local surf spot Whāingaroa, Raglan, Pineja will be joining their mates Mondogreen at The Yard. Be prepared for a night full of Pineja's face melting dubs, skanking breakdowns and dancey grooves, fused with Mondogreen's mellow, alternative flavour of shoegaze and reggae. 

Originally hailing from Germany, SANOI is a producer, DJ and a key member in the electronic/dance music scene in Aotearoa. He has graced the stages of many of New Zealand’s most-loved festivals & clubs where his deeply danceable DJ sets see him move seamlessly across warm, melodic, groove-driven techno and beyond.

Sanoi is set to release a series of club singles just in time for the summer season & upcoming shows. This marks the first all-new material from Sanoi since his 2023 album Echoes Of Home. While Echoes of Home was designed for a rich, layered listening experience at home, these new singles bring a high-energy, dance-floor-focused sound that aligns more closely with Sanoi’s club and DJ sets. Perfect for a run of summer club shows!

As the co-founder of the Woodlands Collective in Germany, Simon Tober brings his unique sound to Aotearoa this summer. He has been a part of the DJ project 'Tober&Tober ' for over 10 years, playing shows & festivals all across Europe. As a solo artist, Simon enjoys playing mid-downtempo, indie dance, daytime disco and slow house.

You can catch them both on Friday 24 Jan 2025 at The Yard,  Raglan

Fresh off the release of his debut EP The Message, rising Aotearoa star Reiki Ruawai is set to bring his dynamic fusion of R&B, hip-hop and soul, to audiences across Australia and New Zealand this summer.

Reiki’s sound is a lush blend of smooth grooves, soulful melodies, and fat basslines, resonating with listeners worldwide. Having garnered over six million Spotify streams and collaborated with Grammy Award-nominated artist Jordan Rakei, Raglan based Reiki is the perfect tonic for the coming summer months.

The Message showcases Reiki’s deeply relatable songwriting and innovative range, blending influences into a style that’s entirely his own. This tour marks the first live performances of The Message, Reiki’s debut body of work released in September 2024. The EP is a testament to his vision, blending lush production with personal lyrics and a knack for infectious hooks. Reiki’s live performances promise to be as magnetic as his recorded work.

Hailing from the coastal alleyways of a steel city, Rum Jungle is bringing their unique blend of reggae-rock, alt-pop, and psychedelic grooves back to Australia and New Zealand! Known for their infectious anthems, introspective vibes, and laid-back party atmosphere, Rum Jungle has captured hearts across the globe, selling out shows in the UK, Europe, and Australia.

Now, with their debut album Recency Bias dropping Friday 21st February, 2025 their sound is like the cracks in a share house wall—part of the charm and just too good to miss. Expect pop melodies, chilled beats, and a good-time vibe that will leave you hanging for more.
