The fiercely energetic post-punk quartet Ringlets emerged from Aotearoa’s musical ether in 2021 and quickly carved out a place of their own with their distinctive blend of subtle wit, grit, and evident sonic technicality. With an extremely solid, almost machine-tested rhythm section and two of Auckland’s leading lyricists and melodic writers, Ringlets have been rapidly building a strong reputation, driven by their love for punk and their unrestrained expression.

Support Goodnight Mars from Arnhem play energetic art-punk and indie rock with sharp lyrics about human stupidity in times of social collapse. Loud, chaotic and cynical, but always with plenty of humour and sincerity. Expect a live show packed with energy, noise, mosh pits and hooks that stick with you.

Second support RANTSOEN from Groningen bring alternative rock with a strong ’80s influence, somewhere between Fontaines D.C. and The Smiths. Catchy guitar riffs, driving basslines and analogue chorus pedals come together in danceable songs full of energy and light nostalgia. Lyrics about getting older, late-night escapades and everyday life complete the picture.
