Coup De Main presents: Carly Rae Jepsen announces first ever New Zealand show for December 2019.

It's insane that Carly Rae Jepsen has never ever played a show in New Zealand before, and Coup De Main is delighted to announce that this year we get to help rectify the situation with the news that Carly Rae Jepsen will play a special one-off show at Auckland's Town Hall on Wednesday, December 4th.

Tickets go on sale from 10am on Thursday, September 26th via Ticketmaster.

Listen: Finneas' new song 'I Don’t Miss You At All'.

Ahead of the release of his debut EP 'Blood Harmony' (out on October 4th), Finneas has shared another new song, 'I Don’t Miss You At All'.

About his new song, Finneas says: "This song is about trying (and failing) to convince yourself that you’re over someone. Remembering all your absolute favorite things about them and pretending they mean nothing to you now... I wrote it on a toy guitar in a hotel in New York while we were on tour this summer. Just a Lil indie movie darling."

Review: The 1975 - Spark Arena, September 2019.

“Come and study at the church of Matty!” The 1975 frontman Matty Healy exclaims partway through the band’s extraordinary return to New Zealand last night at Spark Arena. He’s finished reading aloud a sign from a crowd attendee which reads, “I skipped an exam for this, it’s exam week bitches,” which he’s thoroughly amused by, assuring the sold-out arena that the show in itself is a “cultural life lesson,” and after witnessing the sheer spectacle of the show, he’s not far from the truth.
