SIX60

About

SIX60 is a New Zealand pop-rock band formed in Dunedin in 2008, when its members met as students at the University of Otago. Blending pop, rock, reggae and soul, they hold the record as the most commercially successful band in New Zealand history, with five consecutive chart-topping albums. In 2019 they became the first New Zealand act to sell out Western Springs Stadium (50,000 fans), and in 2021 the first band to headline Eden Park.
