So things sure got surreal this year, huh? Reality s been so hard-scrambled that everyone s been forced to adapt like never before. Me? I ve learned how to prep for surgery, become a first-grade teacher and developed a green thumb.
It s true what they say, though, tough times forge tough people. A lot of us lost a lot of things. We all got our First World bubble popped a bit and maybe, hopefully, learned the true difference between need and want. That s not a bad recalibration to make. And those of us who are still here are, well, still here. These days, that s something.

UTR 2020 Roundup + Festive Season Gig Picks Chris Cudby / A.K. / Friday 18th December, 2020 12:34PM
So that was 2020! It feels like something of a triumph to have made it to the end of a year that started with apocalyptic orange skies (due to the Australian bush fires), and only got even more dramatic. We re thankful that our music community is still fighting fit after a topsy-turvy twelve months, which astoundingly included a moment when every single show in Aotearoa was either cancelled or postponed simultaneously. We invite you to celebrate our uniquely thriving local live scene this summer, and have put together a handy selection of festive season gig picks below for your convenience. Our editorial team are taking a much deserved break [back in the office on 11th January, send us your info here], but you can rest assured the champs handling the ticketing side of UTR will be manning the helpdesk [over here]
