Placeholder are building a community-owned soundsystem which aims to extend the potential of the underground music scene, & emphasize access, education, interconnectedness and experimentation.

For placeholder’s third fundraising event, and for Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa | NZ Music Month 2026, they will turn towards the realm of live-produced experimental ambience and textures, departing from the visceral pace of the club and entering a space of relaxed listening, connection and contemplation. Placeholder presents three artists offering unique and inquisitive sound scapes and compositions: Bay Fourteen, Fern, and BJ Leo.

Tickets are from $20. Due to the limited space of the gallery, we encourage you to purchase your tickets online to secure your spot inside for the evening; limited door spots will also be available. 

Tickets can be purchased, here

Enjoy the sounds of the hardware - both musical instrument and public transport produced, unwind, catch up with one and other, and help Placeholder get one step closer to the completion of a new soundsystem for the Tāmaki Makaurau underground.
