95bFM’s Fancy New Band Returns
Now in its 22nd year, 95bFM’s Fancy New Band showcase is heading back to The Tuning Fork, Friday 31 July 2026.
Every Friday on Morning Glory, 95bFM invite the best emerging artists from across Aotearoa to perform live in the 95bFM studio, and once a year, a few of those artists head over to The Tuning Fork for their annual Fancy New Band showcase.
95bFM has a long history of breaking emerging artists, with many acts from our Fancy New Band showcases getting booked nationally and internationally, as well as going on to become household names you know and love, including Fazerdaze, The Naked and Famous, Tiny Ruins, Kidz In Space, and Tom Lark, to name just a few.
This year, 95bFM are looking forward to introducing the following acts:

Please note that there are no presale tickets for this showcase, but tickets will be available at the door in three different tiers: $10.00 (unwaged), $20.00 (waged), and the option to spend $21.00+ as a donation to the station to help keep the lights on as they build a new station and move to Karangahape Road. Your donation will enable 95bFM to keep supporting fancy new bands and turning them into fancy household names!
This will also be the last day that 95bFM will be based on the University of Auckland campus before moving, and this Fancy New Band showcase is their way to acknowledge this milestone, and celebrate their metamorphosis to Karangahape Road.
