Today, Dunedin-born iconic four-piece SIX60 release their fifth studio album, Right Here Right Now, out now on all streaming platforms, and tonight they will make history by opening the Te Paepae Theatre at the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) with the venue’s first-ever concert - to a sold-out crowd… just days after selling out Christchurch’s One NZ Stadium for their ‘Once In A Lifetime’ show in May.
From their beginnings as flatmates jamming in Dunedin to becoming a stadium-selling force across Aotearoa, SIX60 have spent more than a decade shaping a sound that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. Right Here Right Now sees the band reconnect with the raw, roots-driven energy that first put them on the map - while carrying the confidence and clarity earned through years at the top.
Recorded entirely live, with every final track captured in a single take, Right Here Right Now is SIX60 at their most immediate and unfiltered. The album marks a deliberate return to the organic, in-the-room feeling that defined their now 13x platinum debut, embracing imperfections, warmth, and movement in favour of polish. It’s a record that breathes - built for open windows, long drives, and shared moments.
Previously released anthems off the album ‘We Made It’, ‘Knocking At Your Door’ and ‘We Are All Kings’ sit alongside emotionally rich ballads including ‘Endlessly’ and ‘Hurricane’. Reggae and pop intertwine in SIX60’s unmistakable style, while the stripped-back production leaves space for groove, feeling, and clarity. At the centre of it all is Matiu Walters, delivering one of his strongest performances to date.
Lead singer Matiu Walters says: “We are at the top of our game, and I feel like I was born to sing these songs! Pure, real and heartfelt. SIX60 at its best. Recorded in only three days, the process was old school - full band single takes. We are returning to our Roots music origins, and the music feels natural, uncomplicated, and relatable. Four chords and the truth.”
Tonight’s Right Here Right Now album release concert will see SIX60 perform in an intimate and exclusive environment - a rare opportunity to see the band up close - while also marking the first-ever concert at the brand-new Te Paepae Theatre, NZICC. Doors open at 7:00pm, with YOUKNOW’s The Morning Shift (Jordan River, Brook Ruscoe, and Marc Peard) taking the stage at 8:00pm, before SIX60 headline at 9:00pm. Fans attending will be among the first to hear the new album live, alongside SIX60’s iconic hits, and will be able to purchase the record on vinyl at the show.
Jason Walbridge, SkyCity CEO, says: “Hosting SIX60 as the first ticketed live show at the NZICC is an exciting moment for SkyCity and New Zealand’s live entertainment scene. NZICC was designed to be more than a convention centre; it was created to be a space that adapts and transforms. Te Paepae Theatre is the perfect example of that flexibility. We can’t wait to see SIX60 and its fans make history as they bring the NZICC to life.”
With Right Here Right Now, SIX60 captures more than a moment - they capture a feeling. It’s the sound of summer, the energy of a live room, and the honest, uplifting essence that has made SIX60 one of New Zealand’s most beloved and successful bands.
