Wet Bandits x Pool House Aotearoa Tour 2025 Announced

Wet Bandits is the vehicle of Australia-based Aotearoa indie rock songwriter / producer Finn Roberts, who'll be back home in January playing a double headline nationwide tour with Ōtautahi's Pool House. Wet Bandits made a big splash in the late '10s, unleashing a four EP run in less than two years and achieving millions of streams with 2019's breakout hit 'Movies As Friends', since releasing a steady run of standalone tunes including 2024's sun-dappled 'comfort'. With a brand new record now knocked off in the studio, Wet Bandits will be joined in Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton and Dunedin by Cantabrian four-piece Pool House — Will, Harry, Crispy (not to be mixed up with the iconic DARTZ guitarist) and Flynn — who unveiled the hook-powered expanses of their Sandflies EP at the start of this month. Go catch both projects at the following summer hotspots...
