With a legacy stretching over four decades, The Warratahs are one of Aotearoa's most iconic and enduring bands. Known for their heartfelt lyrics, roots-driven sound, and captivating live shows, the band has built a loyal following across the country-and beyond.

Their extensive touring history includes sharing stages with musical greats such as Billy Joel, The Highwaymen (featuring Johnny Cash), Bob Dylan, and The Carter Family. Their storied career has earned them two Gold albums and one Platinum, marking their place as true legends in New Zealand's music scene.

Now, in 2025, The Warratahs are writing a new chapter with the release of their latest album, Burning Daylight. Embracing a modern release strategy, the band opted to roll out a series of singles ahead of the full album drop to engage audiences in the streaming era. This approach paid off, with their single "Little Victories" landing on a Spotify Editorial playlist, introducing their timeless sound to a new generation of listeners.

"It's so good to still be writing and putting out new music. We released the tracks one by one so each song could have its moment, and now they've come together as an album. We'll keep writing, recording, and sharing new songs over the next year. It just feels good to keep the wheels turning." - Barry Saunders, The Warratahs

Whether performing on festival stages or crafting songs steeped in country soul and New Zealand storytelling, The Warratahs continue to evolve while staying true to the heart of their sound.
