Globetrotting four piece, The Beths are thrilled to announce their return home playing seven shows throughout Aotearoa in March 2026 in celebration of their recently released fourth album Straight Line Was A Lie.
Released in August this year, Straight Line Was A Lie is the first album released via American label ANTI-, debuting at #1 on the Aotearoa Album Chart and receiving glowing reviews from press around the world. Written in Los Angeles and self-recorded in their hometown of Auckland, it is their most vulnerable and revealing body of work to date.
In October 2025 The Beths made their late night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing Straight Line Was A Lie’s standout opening title track, praised by Stereogum as a “total slam dunk of an opener.”
This performance gives a taste of what to expect on the band’s homecoming tour which comes off the back of three solid months of touring the world. The North American leg includes some of their biggest venues to date in the U.S., including The Wiltern in Los Angeles, The Fillmore in San Francisco, The Salt Shed in Chicago, Brooklyn Paramount in New York City, Union Transfer in Philadelphia, 9:30 Club in Washington, DC and more.
Following their New Zealand dates, the band head to Australia where they play their biggest Australian headline shows thus far.
The path from The Beths’ critically celebrated and year-end-list-topping 2022 album Expert In A Dying Field to Straight Line Was A Lie was anything but straightforward. For the first time, Stokes was struggling to write new songs beyond fragments she’d recorded on her phone. She’d recently started taking an SSRI, which on one hand made her feel like she could “fix” everything broken in her life, from her mental and physical health to fraught family dynamics. At the same time, writing wasn’t coming as easily as it had before.
With Straight Line Was A Lie, Stokes broke down the typical Beths writing process, opening themselves up to a wave of creative input, with Stokes’ free-flowing writing routine proving to be therapeutic. Already a celebrated lyricist, Stokes has long impressed fans and critics with catchy, instant-classic turns of phrase that capture the personal and ladder up to the universal. But Stokes’ intentional deconstruction and rebuilding of her relationship to writing, however, has resulted in a complete renewal. Her songwriting has achieved startling new depths of insight and vulnerability, making Straight Line Was A Lie the most sharply observant, truthful, and poetic Beths project to date.

An immersive ode to cinema, turn of the millennium dance culture, and The Situationist International.
Cinematographer is a new show by Taite Music Prize-winning songwriter and performer Anthonie Tonnon. Celebrating the inspiration of cinema to modern Aotearoa, Cinematographer combines all new music with visual DJing by Erica Sklenars, custom videography by Theo Taylor, archival footage, and a psychogeographic narrative.
The show explores two timelines – the film-obsessed Situationist International and their revolutionary experiments which nearly overthrew France in 1968, and the turn of the new millennium in Aotearoa, as our islands transformed into to what Guy Debord famously called ‘The Society of the Spectacle’ – a country of filmmakers and film locations, DJs, celebrity culture, and the greatest marketing minds in the anglophone world.
Tonnon draws a link between these seemingly distant stories, swapping his guitar for the vocoder, and converting his two Synthstrom Deluges into honorary turntables, to create a cinematic live documentary with a sonic palette inspired by turn-of-the-millennium dance culture.
“Tonnon’s gift is the astute juxtaposition of the personal and the political, where social issues revolve around people up against family, lovers, corporate entities or bureaucracy. But at heart, love is the pivot.” The Listener
