Extra Dates Announced: Kiwi DJ MESSIE Extends National ‘TEETH’ Tour

TĀMAKI MAKAURAU/AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND (Aug 21, 2025) - Wellington-based DJ phenomenon MESSIE, aka Tessa Hills, has today announced additional dates for the TEETH TOUR, now performing DJ sets in Gisborne and Christchurch, with an additional All Night Long date added in Wellington due to high demand. Gaining international attention after opening for one of the United Kingdom’s most coveted DJs Fred again.. and remixing his song ‘places to be’, which now has over 2.6M listens on Spotify alone, MESSIE is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new names to watch in New Zealand. 

Audiences will be able to enjoy MESSIE’s high-energy, electrifying All Night Long sets in Auckland and Wellington until the early hours of the morning. Saturday, 13 September, will see her take over Auckland’s Studio the Venue, before heading to Wellington’s San Fran the following Saturday, for a sold-out show on 20 September. She’ll return for a second San Fran show on Friday, 26 September, before continuing the TEETH TOUR at Gisborne’s Smash Palace on Friday, 7 November, and Christchurch’s Hide Club on Saturday, 8 November.

MESSIE is taking Aotearoa’s electronic dance music scene to filthy new levels. As a former drummer, her passion for drumming was the pipeline for her falling in love with genres like Garage, Breakbeat, and Jungle. She has since expanded her sound and it’s safe to say each set will keep you guessing what will come next as she effortlessly merges genres such as Baile Funk, Ghetto Tech, Jersey Club, Juke, Afro beat inspired drums, Techno and many more global club soundscapes that encompass her high energy DJ sets. MESSIE’s sets are guaranteed to be bootleg heavy with something for everyone as she draws from her own music taste of rap and grime, to early 2000’s singalongs, girl-boss anthems and queer music culture in the form of edits you’d never expect.  

Alongside her headline tour around Aotearoa in mid 2024, MESSIE has now brought her fresh, high-energy club music internationally to Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, R&V, Beyond The Valley, Wildlands, Love Saves The Day, Gemfest & Outro Festival. With slots at Pohoda Festival, Hidden Festival, Motion, Truck Festival, AIASOUND and All Points East already this year, there is no slowing her down.
