Have you tuned into ‘Glitter’ yet?

With the dizzying rate at which New Zealand artist BENEE has climbed to become global musical force, it seemed only a matter of time before she left the Southern Hemisphere to satisfy the international appetite for here sugary indie-pop. Heading to the US, UK, and Europe armed with an extra ‘e’ in her moniker, she played 12 dates across a bunch of capitals leading up the release of her debut EP, FIRE ON MARZZ.

She’s also announced she’ll be hitting Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne in November while she’s here performing at Spilt Milk festival (tickets on sale Friday here), so we have a chance to bask in her disco grooves and earworm melodies. But for now, check out her UK/Euro tour diary below, with captions by the talent herself:
