Will our favourite music artists ever make it to New Zealand?
Muso and Afternoons regular Chris Schulz says we need big artists, major shows and large-scale touring to return to Aotearoa - immediately.
Recently, the likes of Taylor Swift, Oasis, Billie Eilish, Green Day, The Killers, Katy Perry, Korn and Kylie Minogue have toured the globe extensively, including Australia - but then gave New Zealand a wide berth.
Xzibit, Nelly, Blink-182, Tenacious D and Public Enemy have announced New Zealand shows and then pulled the plug.
Festivals Bay Dreams and Splore are on hiatus, while we've already lost Nest Fest, Morningside Bloc Party, Juicy Fest and the Timeless Tour for various reasons.
Chris has vented his frustration on
his Boiler Room blog
and joins Jesse for a rant.

Pike River movie to premiere at Sydney Film Festival
Twenty-nine men were killed in one of New Zealand's worst mining disasters. Photo: The feature film Pike River will premiere at the Sydney Film Festival on Saturday, before its release in New Zealand later this year. The movie follows the families of the 29 men killed in one of the worst mining disasters in the country and their search for justice. Director Rob Sarkies said the crew worked closely with the families of the men who died in making the film, which was shot on location in Māwhera, Greymouth, Wellington and Auckland. Pike River features New Zealand actors Melanie Lynskey as Anna Osborne and Robyn Malcolm as Sonya Rockhouse. Osborne's husband, Milton, and Rockhouse's son, Ben, were among those killed in the mine explosion 15 years ago. Rockhouse has said the film had, in some way, helped with their healing. "Anna and I have found it to be an incredibly humbling experience to be involved in the film, with a crew of people who felt strongly about the injustices we suffered and wanted to tell our story." They are attending the film's premiere in Sydney together. Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero , a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.

A chief's children's book weaves fa'amatai and proverbs
Tusitala (Author) Tauanu'u smiling in joy as he holds his newly published book - Samoan Proverbs for Children. Photo: Coco Lance While many childrens books are written in Samoan, [title] may be the first to bring fa'amatai (the chiefly system) and traditional proverbs into a story made for young readers. Authored by a renowned teacher and language and cultural expert in Aotearoa, Tauanu'u Perenise Tapu Sitagata, the book is written in Gagana Samoa (Samoan language) and English. The launch was led by his children and grandchildren with support from Auckland Council and Auckland Library. "I didn't want the children to miss out on the richness of the values," Tauanu'u said. Tauanu'u with his Āiga (Wife, Children, and children at the launch of his new book) Photo: RNZ Pacific / Grace Fiavaai "Values about church, about family relationships, about brother and sister, about existing together, about helping each other. "There's one that goes e lele lava le toloa ae maau i le vai - the bird flies, but will always go back to water because it's sustenance and it helps them in everyday life. "Wherever we go, we always come back to our families. It is our home, and it is where we learned at an early age, and it is where we learned all the values that we have in life. So that's why those are the cornerstones of Samoan language and culture - the family, the church, the parents, relationship between people, respect. Try to capture in these sayings and these proverbs." The book is brought to life by vibrant illustrations that mirror village life. "I was familiar with the words - the pictures really enhanced what the words were saying," the author explained. "The skill of the artist is they asked me, 'What do you want to show in the pictures?' and I think the artist created something even more. "We go back to the visuals of our path; the visuals of the family sitting around; the visuals of the parents talking to the children; the visuals of the church in the background where everyone goes." Initially, the author said he viewed the project as "just another book," but soon realised there was little available for younger generations. "Now it comes to me - my calling is to write for young people, from five to 18 or five to 20 or wherever. It's got to be in both languages, just to expose the richness of our language to our young people." Tauanu'u stressed that while many Samoan youth are growing up in Aotearoa New Zealand, they still see traditional values. "They still see the care and love of the parents. They still see the strictness that goes with, 'You are important. You're going to go to church and keep an upright life. You're going to go to school and you're going to learn, nothing else'. "Sometimes young people don't go to church and they question the relevance. But somewhere along life, there's an experience will bring you back to the anchoring of your life - the support network of family, the support network of faith. "Maybe we put too much emphasis on a nice house, a nice car. But some of the greatest people live in very simple houses. And everyone goes there because they get a laugh, they get food." Oratia Publishing representative Peter Dowling said while this was a project that communicates Samoan values and the traditions, "the morals, the values that are communicated are universal, and that's one of the beautiful things about this book". "It's a long-cherished dream of ours to have more books and creating more books in different languages that represent the communities of Aotearoa, especially Gagana Samoa and other Pasifika languages where there has been a dearth of resources." Project lead from the Auckland Libraries Veronica Ligaliga said the first person that came to mind for this book was Tauanu'u. "This project was an opportunity for us to give back to the community," she told the launch attendees. "I wanted to create content that will not only honour Tauanu'u's contribution to the success of the debate, but a book that will become part of the local history of Tāmaki Mkaurau. "It's about creating connected communities from inside out. Auckland Council libraries is committed to increasing the representation of Pasifika languages and cultures in their collections, and this project is just another one of them." Students were also present to support Tauanu'u, where they performed traditional siva Samoa.. One student they were grateful that they got to experience this alongside him, while another said they were happy to see him finally acknowledged and on a big stage too. Samoa Language Week finishes on Saturday.

The Kiribat pilot inspiring the next generation of Pacific aviators
Photo: Salote Mataitini When Salote Mataitini first dreamed of becoming a pilot, she was a child reading newspaper articles about aviators, long before iPhones or social media. "In primary school, I learned about pilots through newspaper interviews, pre-smartphone era," she said. Today, Mataitini lives out her lifelong dream. She is a captain with Air Kiribati, flying across one of the world's largest ocean states and inspiring the next generation of Pacific aviators. Photo: Salote Mataitini Originally from the Garden Island of Taveuni and raised in Somosomo, Fiji, Mataitini's journey began in Aotearoa, where she trained at Ardmore Flying School in South Auckland. "That was a great experience as I got to see different parts of the country while studying," she said. "While doing… my NZ commercial pilot's licence, I was lucky to be able to pick wherever I wanted to fly to, so because of that exposure, I've been to most, if not all, the airports and aerodromes in the upper North Island and Great Barrier Island." She joined Air Kiribati as a first officer a decade ago and has flown as a captain on the Harbin and twin otter aircrafts for the past eight years. "In Kiribati, we provide air service to 20 airports - 17 in the Gilbert Group while we are based in our HQ in Tarawa, and three airports in the Line Islands Group based in Christmas Island. So every few weeks we rotate between these two bases," she said. "Kiribati is a massive ocean state with atolls spread across the central Pacific Ocean. I'm quite blessed to be flying in these parts of the world where I get to cross the equator multiple times a day." Mataitini's pathway wasn't without challenges, however. Early in her career, female pilots in the Pacific were rare, and gender bias was common. "During the early days of my career there weren't many female pilots in the Pacific. Gender bias was very prevalent in those days," she said. "When I look back now, it was God's way of redirecting me to my destiny to go and work in Kiribati. "I have been able to fully immerse myself in the culture and language because of the way the people of Kiribati have embraced me as one of their own." While Mataitini finds peace in the sky, she said that her job is just as rewarding on the ground. "Watching families, friends and loved ones reunited after a flight is always a rewarding experience." Photo: Salote Mataitini Beyond the cockpit, Mataitini is passionate about inspiring young people to pursue careers in aviation. "Once I started flying, I wanted to do the same to inspire not only girls but the next generation of aviators. So that's when I started sharing my journey and my story online," she said. Through her social media posts, Mataitini has become a recognisable role model across the region. She frequently receives messages from parents of aspiring pilots, and takes time to guide them, offering advice on training, pathways, and nearby flight schools. "In Kiribati, it's become… normal for them to see me fly to their island. Compared to when I first started, it was rare to see a female pilot. "But now when I land, I'm surprised to hear kids calling out to me, calling out my name. So I normally just smile and wave or go shake their hands," she said. Salote Mataitini is inspiring young children to enter the aviation space Photo: Salote Mataitini She continues to be a sought-after speaker at graduations and school events across the country, where she encourages young people to dream boldly, and pursue their goals. Today, Mataitini is heartened by the growing number of young Pacific people, particularly women, entering aviation. "A decade later I'm beginning to see the fruits of that influence. It's great to see a number of new Kiribati female graduate pilots and a few others who are currently in Nadi flying schools," she said. "It's only a matter of time before they'll start sharing the cockpit with me, so I look forward to that day." However, Mataitini maintains that women in Kiribati are natural "leaders, mothers, and highly educated role models". "I see my role as an extension to theirs," she said. "Together, we inspire the next generation to follow in our footsteps, empowering not only females - but the future leaders of Kiribati."
