From Nights, 10:45 pm on 29 May 2025

US songwriting star Sharon Van Etten will be winging her way to New Zealand this November for Auckland's most iconic street festival, with the first wave of artists performing at The Others Way announced today.

The other big news: for the first time in the festival's history, its home of Karangahape Road will be closed to cars and music and people alike will be able to flow out onto the streetscape.
