Auckland indie-rock legends Voom — after years of slow-burning genius, cult-adored releases, and sporadic-yet-memorable live performances — are finally back with their long-awaited new album, Something Good Is Happening, out Friday 16 May via Flying Nun Records. To celebrate, the band have announced a four-date New Zealand tour, taking their new songs (and some beloved classics) on the road for the ‘Something Good Is Happening Tour’.
Beginning at Auckland’s hottest new venue Double Whammy on Friday 23 May, the band head off the beaten track to Raglan’s The Yard on Saturday 24th before firing up the following weekend with shows at The Loons in Lyttelton, Christchurch on Friday 30 May and finally San Fran in Wellington on Saturday 31 May.

Something Good Is Happening marks Voom’s first full-length album in nearly two decades, following 2006’s Hello, Are You There?, a record that carved out their place as one of Aotearoa’s most quietly influential indie bands. The new record is a lovingly stitched-together patchwork of songs — collected, demoed, shelved, and reshaped over the years — and lovingly polished by the band’s current lineup: frontman Buzz Moller, Murray Fisher (Goodshirt), Nick Buckton (aka sidekicknick), and drummer Josh Sorenson.
While the road to this album has been anything but conventional, the result is unmistakably Voom: skewed pop melodies, heartfelt ballads, fuzzy guitars, and a whole lot of soul. The band recently teased the record with lead single ‘Trouble’, a song about craving something so badly you’re willing to throw caution to the wind. The video, directed by Matthew Campbell Downs and made with support from NZ on Air, captures that reckless yearning perfectly.
Voom’s music is known for its raw honesty and emotional clarity — never postured or overly refined, always vulnerable and real. Their sound is a delicate balance of youthful optimism and late-night melancholy, and Something Good Is Happening continues this tradition with even greater depth and texture.
From their cult-favourite debut Now I Am Me to their 2006 classic Hello, Are You There?, Voom have remained a singular force in the New Zealand music landscape. Their return in 2025 is both a nostalgic nod and a refreshing reinvention. Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering them for the first time, the ‘Something Good Is Happening Tour’ is your chance to experience a band whose sincerity and sonic curiosity continue to shine. Don't miss Voom live this May - something good is definitely happening. Tickets on sale now.
