August Avenue presents two special shows in Tauranga (Friday August 29) and Auckland (Saturday August 30), bringing her powerful vocals and raw emotion to the stage.
Known for her powerhouse vocals, emotive songwriting, and captivating stage presence, Georgia will perform songs from the new EP - including singles ' Wonderful Life', 'Till The Music Stops' (released July 25), and ' Julia' - alongside fan favourites from her #1 debut album, THE ROSE OF JERICHO.
The shows cap off a stellar year for Georgia, who received six nominations at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards, including Album of the Year, as well as nominations at the Silver Scrolls and Taite Music Prize. With a growing international profile and critical acclaim, THE GUEST HOUSE marks a bold new chapter in her creative journey.

Joining Georgia on both dates are two exciting rising acts:
Tusekah
A South African–born R&B/Neo-Soul artist based in Auckland, Tusekah is known for her soul-drenched voice and spine-tingling live shows. Since her debut in 2021 with ' Childhood Friends', she has gone on to release standout singles including 'I Ain't Waiting Around', 'I've Changed', 'Baby's Breath', and latest single ' Always'. Her performances have taken her around Aotearoa, including a headline tour in early 2024 and support slots for Jess B, Deva Mahal, PJ Morton, and Olivia Dean. Her music has been championed by Mai FM, ZM, The Edge, BBC Radio 1, Triple J, and more.

Who's who in season six of Taskmaster NZ?
Finally, some good news: Alex Casey introduces the comedians vying for the Taskmaster trophy in 2025. Hold onto your teabags and check the walls for David Correos, because Taskmaster NZ is returning in August with a whole new cast of brave contestants completing absurd tasks in order to win a resplendent Jeremy Wells-shaped trophy. And what great timing it is! In an era where unscripted television is becoming increasingly rare, there's not many chances outside of Scotty Morrison cranking out a Te Karere cartwheel for New Zealanders to be spontaneous, joyful and weird on television anymore. Here are the comedians looking to make us chuckle in season six. Jackie van Beek Barely a day goes by where I don't think about Jackie van Beek in this scene with Jacinda Ardern, from her delivery of 'you do and you don't' to her gnarled airquotes around 'vote on this matter'. A true comedy tour de force, Van Beek has starred in everything from Educators to The Breaker Upperers to Nude Tuesday, and wrote The Office AU, directed Wellington Paranormal, and basically has her face and/or fingerprints on all the funniest stuff Aotearoa has ever made. I cannot wait to see what she does on Taskmaster NZ – if it involves any air quotes, we're toast. Bree Tomasel Here's a huge Spinoff exclusive: ZM drive DJ and Celebrity Treasure Island host Bree Tomasel told us way, way back in 2024 that it is her dream to be on Taskmaster. 'I'm obsessed with that show. I love that you can be as weird as your brain will let you be,' she told My Life in TV. 'I feel like I have the weirdest brain, and I'd love to put it to the test. It would be fun to just see what happens.' Given her predilection for telling dirty jokes and making those closest to her uncomfortable, we also can't wait to see what happens here. Alice Snedden Some really good news from the comedic powerhouse behind our own Bad News. Alice Snedden is a seasoned stand-up and TV writer, formerly commanding the writer's room for Jono and Ben and more recently collaborating with Taskmaster UK savant Rose Matafeo on the BBC series Starstruck. Having taken on gargantuan tasks for The Spinoff such as solving climate change, exploring the morals of meat-eating, and unmasking the toxic side of rugby culture, we anticipate a deeply competitive and hugely ambitious Taskmaster contestant in Snedden. Pax Assadi He's scaled mountains and swam to the depths of the ocean as the co-host of Endangered Species Aotearoa, but can Pax Assadi flip a coin to get five consecutive heads on Taskmaster NZ? The stand-up comedian and creator and star of Raised by Refugees has also been a mainstay on comedy panel shows like Have You Been Paying Attention and 7 Days, while also assessing chocolate eclairs with aplomb in the Great Kiwi Bake Off tent. A multi-hyphenate, a miulti-threat, and likely to be the only comedian to identify a rare frog in the Taskmaster pond. Jack Ansett Given the way he completely derailed Guy Mont Spelling Bee by trying out several new voices, shouting out his geography teacher and then getting a chronic case of the giggles, Jack Ansett is a truly thrilling addition to the Taskmaster NZ line-up. The stand-up comedian once entered and completed the Weetbix Kiwi Kids triathlon as a grown man, so honestly who knows what he will be capable of once he is within the four walls of the Taskmaster NZ manor. Hide your wholegrain breakfast bricks, hide your geography teachers, bring the popcorn.

Ed Sheeran adds second Christchurch show to January 2026 New Zealand tour
Ed Sheeran performed to an adoring crowd of a record 48,000 fans at Sky Stadium in 2023. Photo / Brady Dyer From Auckland, Sheeran will travel to Wellington for a midweek concert on Wednesday, January 21 at Sky Stadium, before finishing the New Zealand leg in Christchurch and heading westwards to Australia. Sheeran's Christchurch shows at Apollo Projects Stadium will be his first in the city in 11 years. Aotearoa: Sheeran's second home To date, the Perfect singer has sold more than 2.5 million tickets to his previous shows across Australia and NZ, making him one of the most in-demand acts in Australasia. He's also one of the few artists to have songs totalling more than one billion streams on Spotify, with his 2017 hit Shape of You breaking multiple records across platforms. Sheeran's adoration of NZ and its fans is well documented. In 2021, he told ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan he would have bought a house in Wellington a decade ago if it weren't for his strong ties to the United Kingdom. The crowd at Ed Sheeran's concert at Eden Park stadium in 2023. Photo / Alex Robertson In 2014, he even made a special appearance in Aotearoa's longest-running TV Soap Shortland Street, treating the residents of Ferndale to an impromptu song. His song I See Fire was written especially for Peter Jackson's second Hobbit film, with the hitmaker also spotted making a pilgrimage to Hobbiton, Matamata. During his last NZ visit, a technical hitch forced him to play an acoustic set at the first of his two Eden Park concerts. Despite the glitches, feedback from the tour was overwhelmingly positive, with Sheeran praised for his showmanship and good-hearted nature. 'I'm sad that I'm leaving in a couple of days,' he told the crowd at the time, revealing how NZ fans helped The A Team become his first big hit. 'But every time I come back here, I feel like one of your own.' Earlier that day, he had performed to a set of lucky schoolkids at Kōwhai Intermediate and Manurewa Intermediate, something he often does on his Kiwi tours. Ed Sheeran: The Loop Tour NZ Auckland- Friday, January 16 and Saturday, January 17 - Go Media Stadium Wellington - Wednesday, January 21 - Sky Stadium Christchurch - Saturday, January 24 and Sunday, January 25 - Apollo Projects Stadium Frontier Members can access presale tickets from Monday, July 28.
