Auckland pop-rock five-piece Where’s Jai have quickly exploded onto the scene as one of Aotearoa’s most exciting new bands, with a distinct, globally resonating sound that’s already had them noticed by the likes of Lana Del Rey.

Following their breakout 2025 debut album Fresh Out Of Air, Where’s Jai recently embarked on a 10 date Australasian tour, having built a cult-following of dedicated fans reaching much further than their Tāmaki Makaurau hometown.

Made up of Grace Allis (lead vocals) Leigh Edmeades (lead vocals) Elliott Borland (drums) Michael Walmsley (lead guitar) Jai Nielsen (rhythm guitar) and Nate Fullerton (bass), the band blend infectious pop sensibilities with distorted, grungey alt-rock instrumentation, resulting in a live show that’s nothing short of exhilarating.

Don’t miss Where’s Jai at Tāmaki Makaurau’s Cross Street Festival on November 28th, 2026. Secure your tickets now at crossstmusicfestival.co.nz 🔗

South Auckland artist Greatsouth released his debut album Hellhole of the Pacific in August, a critically acclaimed project that coined the term “Polynesian post-punk” with his raw sound rooted in indigenous storytelling.

With coveted accolades to his name including a nomination for the 2026 APRA Silver Scroll Award, Greatsouth intersects gritty guitars with traditional taonga pūoro Māori instrumentation and South Pacific field recordings. His songwriting explores whakapapa, unpacks the impacts of colonisation, and celebrates the resilience of indigenous communities.

Greatsouth is bringing Māori alt-rock to the Cross Street Festival stage on November 28th, 2026. Secure your tickets now at crossstmusicfestival.co.nz 🔗

Sola Rosa is the project of globally celebrated Auckland-based producer, songwriter, and musician Andrew Spraggon.

Since winning Best Electronic Release for his debut album Solarized at the 2001 New Zealand Music Awards, Sola Rosa has continued to expand his innovative, ever-evolving sound, with a prolific discography spanning more than two decades and including acclaimed albums Moves On (2005), Get It Together (2009), Low and Behold, High and Beyond (2010), Chasing The Sun (2020), In The Mids (2026), and more.

Intersecting a vibrant blend of electronic, R&B, funk, neo-soul, and hip-hop, his music is as forward-looking as it is timeless, balancing both live analog instrumentation and digital studio production to create an immersive experience transcending expectations.

Sola Rosa has performed at major global music festivals including Secret Garden Party (UK), Shambala (UK), Kendal Calling (UK), WOMAD (NZ), Big Day Out (NZ), and Splore (NZ), and this November 28th, he’ll be bringing his grooving rhythms to Tāmaki Makaurau’s Cross Street Festival.
