Welcomer are embarking on their first nationwide headline tour to celebrate the release of their debut album Calendars, out June 12 via trusted DIY stalwarts, Papaiti Records.

Calendars follows a string of European shows in 2025 and a self titled EP which was described by Under the Radar as ‘melancholic splendour.. in swirls of harmonious goodness, each packed with presence and perfectly placed’. Single Nothing of You Remaining was described by Rolling Stone AU as “blending folk influences with strings for a warm, layered pop sound”.

Joined in Pōneke by Belladonna and King Hit

Belladonna is the musical project of Bella Cook, a songwriter with a well-honed knack for musical storytelling, capturing the quirk and romance of everyday life. The debut Belladonna album, Arcus Way, was released in 2025 - a stunning collection of sharp and affecting songs with paired back arrangements.

King Hit is a Pōneke-based four piece melding the abrasiveness of shoe-gaze and punch of hardcore with the melancholy of Midwest-emo. Originally conceived as a three-piece by principal songwriter, guitarist and frontman Stefan Jenkins, King Hit cut their teeth in the Wellington underground scene for the first half of 2025 before adding Caitlin Gabb on guitar and vocals, joining bassist Felix Bird and drummer Sebastian Bell as architects of the band’s formidable wall of noise.
