Welcome to NZ Music Month!
"This year’s theme, Our Sounds, Our Spaces, celebrates our music and all the places it is made and enjoyed across Aotearoa; from incredible local live music venues and community halls to schools, libraries, marae, public parks, town squares, all ages spaces and more. NZ Music Month 2026 shines a light on the unique environments that bring music to life throughout the motu"

In anticipation of this year's NZMM, I've been updating a table of kiwi music licensed under CreativeCommons licenses, which I started in 2017;

There's still a lot more to do, so please be a squeaky wheel about anything that needs adding or fixing (broken links, inaccurate info, etx). I intend to make this much more of a representative sample by the end of the month.
I'd also like to make sure someone is archiving all these CC-licensed records.

As usual, my amigo SSSD will be hyping NZ Music Month on the Deep INsessioNZ radio show (also available as a podcast);

SSSD will be rolling out a series of kiwi music themed shows throughout May. Including an interview with yours truly about the kaupapa of the.social music.network, dropping 29 May. That's NZST/ UCT+12, so 30 May for those in the western hemisphere timezones.
