Established in 2019, kiwi band 'NO CIGAR' has already found massive success on a world stage.

They toured the Northern Hemisphere in 2023, playing headline shows in the UK and France before dropping back home to play the festival circuit over summer.

Self-described as 'semi-rock', the band recently released their sophomore album 'The Great Escape', a coinciding tour taking place from December through to February. 

When it comes to overseas tours, Lead Guitarist Josh Morrice told Tim Dower that they didn't really know what they were getting into.

"We kind of just thought, let's give it a crack." 

They knew they had fans throughout Europe and the UK, but didn't expect to sell out shows in Amsterdam and London.

"London sold out three times, which was pretty, pretty spectacular and pretty amazing to kind of have that happen on our first time."

Morrice said that selling out these shows was validating.

"It feels like we're doing the right things, and we just need to keep doing it."
