NZ Band Six60 Announce 2018 Australian Tour Dates With Nico & Vinz

New Zealand soul-pop five-piece Six60 are teaming up with celebrated Norwegian duo Nico & Vinz for a world tour that includes five shows on Australian shores this January.

The pair of acts met up when the Kiwi outfit were in Los Angeles working on new music, "and discovered that we've got a lot in common in what we believe about music and the way it affects and connects people," the band said.

"The New Waves World Tour represents how much music is like the tides that ebb and flow, eventually ending up on the other side of the world. Both bands have got new parts of the world to see, and fresh music to share with our fans."

Six60 have also spent time in Auckland and London working on the follow-up to their acclaimed second self-titled album, which landed in 2015 and went Platinum in their home country.

The tour will kick off at the Prince, in Melbourne, on Thursday 18 January, and spend the remainder of the week rolling through Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

Tickets for all shows go on sale from 10am this Wednesday, 18 October, via Niche Productions.
