“New Zealand is a hotbed for global export talent and that’s been proven time and time again as NZ artists punch well above their weight on the global stage. I can’t wait to acknowledge the artists and records that helped get us through a difficult time for every industry, but especially our music industry." - Poppy Reid, Editor in Chief at Rolling Stone New Zealand
The ceremony will take place on August 31st at Glasshouse in Tāmaki Makaurau.
