While we’re building UNDERPASS, here are some great upcoming shows from external providers.

YOUR SCENE STARTS SOMEWHERE

Small stage. Big energy.

Putting on something good? UNDERPASS is building tools for independent artists, promoters and venues.

For artists, promoters & venues ↗
LOCAL ROOTS. NATIONWIDE CONNECTIONS.

Break barriers.
Build opportunity.

Every scene starts with people showing up for each other. UNDERPASS connects local music and arts communities across Aotearoa through a network built on real relationships.

We verify venues. Venues verify artists. Together, we grow a nationwide online community that helps local talent reach beyond their postcode.

  1. We verify venues.

    UNDERPASS verifies the venues at the heart of our local scenes. These spaces become the foundations of the network.

  2. Venues verify artists.

    Verified venues vouch for the artists in their communities, helping local talent build connections through the people and places that know their work.

  3. The scene grows.

    Those local connections become a nationwide community. Artists, venues and fans discover each other, bridge scenes and open up new opportunities.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENE

It doesn’t
stop there.

There’s a whole creative community behind every show. UNDERPASS works to connect and protect photographers, videographers, graphic designers and visual artists across the scene.

We champion their intellectual property by showcasing original work, crediting its creators and directing people to their own platforms. The work belongs to the people who make it.

We stand firmly against artwork created using generative artificial intelligence. This scene is built by people. Its artwork should be too.

BUILT LOCALLY. CONNECTED NATIONWIDE.
