Prepare yourself for a
summer tour like no other. Three of New Zealand’s most exciting acts – Broods, Kings and Theia - back-to-back,
and coming to a holiday town near you.
Presented by ZM, Electric Coastline will be headlined by the chart-topping,
award-winning duo Broods,
with support from breakthrough sensation Kings and emerging glitter-pop darling Theia.
Making its debut in December and January, the touring mini festival stops off
in four popular hot spots along New Zealand’s magical coastline. And with
electrifying live sets from three of the country’s hottest acts right now, Electric Coastline promises to be the party you just cannot miss this summer.
It kicks off at Cooks
Reserve, Riwaka, near Nelson on December 26, before heading north to the Mangawhai Tavern on January 3, and making
its way down to Coroglen
Tavern near Whitianga on January
4 and ending at ASB
Bay Park Arena in Mount Maunganui on January 5.
Broods will return from their base in LA for the four-date tour, which rounds off a
triumphant year for siblings Georgia and Caleb Nott, who hail from Nelson.
They’ve enjoyed phenomenal success with their sophomore album Conscious, wowed with
a killer performance on the Late
Late Show With James Corden and sold out tours across New
Zealand, Australia and the US. They also received an impressive five
nominations in the upcoming 2016
Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards, including ‘Album of the
Year’, ‘Best Group’ and ‘Single of the Year’ with their smash hit Free produced by Joel Little.
Meanwhile Broods’
latest single Heartlines,
co-written with Lorde,
is still sitting firmly in the charts.
Broods will be joined by one of New Zealand’s biggest success stories in 2016, the
mighty Kings.
After making a mark in 2015 with his Dan
Aux collab Sippin’
Yak, Kings went on to take the nation by storm with his infectious Gold tune Don't Worry Bout It,
which this year spent 14 weeks at #1 in the local charts. Auckland-based Kings also gets two
nods at this year’s VNZMA, with nominations for ‘Single of the Year’ and
‘Breakthrough Artist of the Year’. Kings’
self-titled debut EP is due out on November
25, includes the new single, What
We Supposed To Do.
Completing the all-star line-up is one of this country’s newest emerging talents, Theia. The
Christchurch singer-songwriter made her debut in 2015 with the
electro-pop-meets-sultry- RnB track Silver
Second, which caught the attention of US tastemaker music
blogs Hillydilly and Pigeons & Planes. Theia is
now riding high on the success of her summer anthem Roam, which
clocked more than 1 million plays on Spotify in just six weeks and saw her
enter the Global Viral Chart, the US Viral Chart, the Australian Viral Chart
and top the NZ Viral Chart.
