Overview

Six60 have undoubtably made a name for themselves in the New Zealand music scene. Emerging from humble beginnings, the group was founded during their time at University of Otago. Fast forward a few years and they have already made a huge impact in the New Zealand music scene producing hits such as their triple platinum selling single "Don't Forgot Your Roots" from their quadruple platinum number one debut album. This album also features their two double platinum selling singles "Only To Be" and "Rise Up" and two platinum selling single "Forever" and "Special".

In 2011 the band received nominations for Single of the Year for their song "Rise Up 2.0", Breakthrough Artist of the Year and People'c Choice Award. In the following year they received a string of nominations including Album of the Year and Best Electronia Album, but at the end of the night they took home 6 awards including Single of the Year for "Don't Forget Your Roots" and Best Group Award.

Selling out to audiences all over New Zealand, and performing in festivals with huge passion and energy, Six60 is a force that won't be slowing down anytime soon.

For this New Zealand tour Six60 will be supported by New Zealand's own Mt.Eden and Raiza Biza.
