As BIBI's first global tour since her debut in 2019, expectations are high for her dynamic performances and bold artistic vision. Renowned for her genre-blending music and distinctive stage presence, she is set to deliver an electrifying experience, featuring hits from her discography along with special performances. This tour not only highlights BIBI's growing global influence but also solidifies her status as one of the most exciting artists in the international music scene.
The title of BIBI's world tour, EVE, also adds an intriguing layer to the experience. The tour serves as a fitting conclusion to her Era of Love series, which has unfolded since last year through releases like " Hongdae R&B," " Bam Yang Gang," " DERRE," and " Bluebird." Throughout this series, BIBI has introduced two distinct personas, EVE and EVE-1, using them to convey contrasting emotions and perspectives in her music - each time releasing her work as a double single. With such a unique storytelling approach, anticipation is high for how this narrative will be brought to life on stage.

Plans for summer concert to move
Greenstone Entertainment has plans to move the annual Summer Concert Tour over the hill and to attract almost double the number of concert-goers. The concert has been held for more than 15 years at Gibbston Valley Station, and Greenstone announced on the eve of this year's concert it was on the move. That has been driven by the station's development plans. It is hoping to get fast-track approval for about 900 new homes, a commercial area and potentially a school on its land, meaning areas, including for carparking, may not be available in future years for concerts of that scale. Under the existing consent, up to 18,000 are permitted at the site. About 14,000 people attended this year's concert in January, featuring Everclear, Bic Runga, Icehouse and Cold Chisel. Initially rumoured to be looking at Robrosa Station, between Queenstown and Wānaka — the site of the annual Rhythm & Alps gig — the organisers are now seeking approval to hold it at the 60ha Three Parks Outdoor Arena in Wānaka. Their application is seeking land use consent to hold up to three one-day events a year for the next five years, with a maximum of 30,000 attending. "One of the events each year will be the Greenstone Summer Concert Tour." According to the application, "future development of the Gibbston Valley Winery site has meant that this location is no longer suitable due to restricted carparking and bus drop-off options". "The Three Parks Outdoor Arena site in Wānaka provides the ideal site for the Summer Concert event and ensures that the event can continue in the Queenstown Lakes district [and] will result in a direct benefit to the economy of Wānaka and the wider area and create employment." The 2026 event is pegged to employ more than 200 locals. Buses will be provided from Queenstown, Arrowtown and Cromwell to reduce traffic disruption and volume on the roads. According to the application, the proposal will result in a "less than minor effect on the surrounding roading network". Greenstone, part-owned by Gibbston Valley Wines, has long wanted to hold more than one event at the concert venue a year — in 2020 it applied to the Queenstown Lakes District Council for a variation of its Gibbston consent to hold up to five events a year.

Autaia Unveils Two Nights Of Rangatahi-Led Haka Theatre
Haka Theatre showcase, Autaia is back and this time, it's twice as exciting. For the first time, it will span two evenings giving more schools and kura than ever a chance to unleash their ihi, wehi and wana on stage. Returning to Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 August, Autaia 2025 will feature 12 schools and kura from Tāmaki Makaurau, Te Tai Tokerau and, for the first time, Waikato. Presented by Hawaiki TŪ and Auckland Live (a division of Tātaki Auckland Unlimited), this year's event embraces the theme 'He Hawaiki Hou – A Return, A Renewal, A Rising'. Founder and Artistic Director of Autaia, Kura Te Ua, says that it's humbling to see how Autaia is evolving and the impact it's having on rangatahi, their kura, and wider communities. 'This year we've found ways to keep the kaupapa growing. Our rangatahi deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Autaia creates space for them to stand confidently in their own light and unapologetically express who they are and who they are becoming,' says Te Ua. The new two-night format introduces new categories which will showcase high-impact performances. Each school will present an original haka theatre piece, conceptualised, choreographed and performed by the students. The three creative categories include: Haka Bracket: Haka infused with theatrical storytelling Haka Musical: Haka blended with song, drama, and characterisation Haka Movement: Storytelling through Haka Movement and choreography With NCEA credits, mentorship from industry professionals, and a platform to showcase their talents on stage and behind the scenes, Autaia celebrates identity, artistry and rangatahi leadership. 'As part of our extension plan, we're excited to welcome our first kura from Waikato to the Autaia stage. Their unique style and deep connection to their hapori bring fresh energy to the kaupapa, showing that haka theatre connects and empowers rangatahi far beyond Tāmaki Makaurau,' says Te Ua. 'Through bold creativity and the lived experiences of rangatahi, each Autaia performance becomes a powerful expression of te ahurea Māori and a reminder that He Hawaiki Hou is within our reach,' Te Ua adds. ' Autaia shows what's possible when we back our taiohi-rangatahi and the creative sector,' says Helen Te Hira, Director of Māori Outcomes at Tātaki Auckland Unlimited. 'As the region's cultural agency, we're proud to support Autaia alongside senior Māori creatives as it grows into a bold, future-focused platform. Through Auckland Live, we help create spaces — on stage, behind the scenes, and beyond — where taiohi-rangatahi can thrive, lead, and shape the creative future of Aotearoa'. Tickets are now on pre-sale for Autaia 2025, promising to be an unmissable showcase of the next generation of storytellers redefining haka theatre.
