From simple beginnings in a student flat in Dunedin to the highest selling live band in New Zealand history, SIX60 have come a long way. Mixing soul, rock, reggae and roots music in a distinctly SIX60 way, they have become the sound of New Zealand Summer for over a decade.

After years of selling out venues like Eden Park, Western Spring, Sky Stadium, The Hordern Pavilion and Riverstage, SIX60 decided to go back to the grassroots this winter with 60 regional acoustic shows.

The tour titled the Grassroots Tour sold out in less than a minute and brought the magic of SIX60 Live to some of the smallest towns all over Australia, New Zealand and Europe. T

his summer SIX60 is heading back to the major cities with the Sunset World Tour and will once again give fans a chance to experience the unique sound of summer only SIX60 can provide.

History-making award-winning New Zealand quintet SIX60 stir rock, reggae, funk, and pop together with a twist of kiwi roots music and Maori instrumentation.

Invoking this spirit and Kiwi roots, their latest music and next evolution showcases traditional Maori instruments such as Pūtātara and Pūkāe (stone and long trumpets), Bone Kōauao (Bone Flute), and Karanga Weka (Stone Flute). This sound engenders a rare level of devotion from fans, bordering on downright phenomenal.

The group’s 2011 full-length, SIX60 (I. The Gold Album), bowed at #1 on the charts in New Zealand and eventually went septuple-platinum. SIX60 (II. The Colours Album) saw them reclaim the top spot on the charts in 2015 and go quintuple-platinum.

To date, New Zealand single sales exceed 1 million as global streams surpass 200 million and counting. At the 2018 NZ Music Awards, they garnered “Best Group” in addition to five other honors. A year later, they made history. Performing their biggest show to date, they sold out Western Springs Stadium in New Zealand and became “the first New Zealand Act to Sell 50,000 Tickets to a Show at the Stadium” (They repeated the same feat for 2020!).

Now, their third full-length album and Epic Records debut, SIX60, illuminates the full scope of this signature style like never before highlighted on the first singles “Please Don’t Go,” “Raining,” and more.
