This year’s Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards enjoyed a star-studded turnout, with everyone from reigning pop queen Lorde to The Bachelor‘s Art Green and Matilda Rice happily posing up a storm on the red carpet.
Lorde and brother-sister duo Broods scooped up plenty of awards on the night, but there were plenty of Tuis to go around for other Kiwi music stars including Six60, Gin Wigmore and Sol3 Mio.
