Aaaaand that’s a wrap on the Aotearoa Music Award for 2020! As this LONG year draws to a close, it’s safe to say we’re not gonna miss this year all that much. But despite all of 2020’s distinctive 2020-ness, Kiwi artists made the best of a bad vibe and packed into Spark Arena on Sunday to celebrate some of the highlights!
SIX60 took to the AMA stage to perform their new song ‘Fade Away’ as well as a stunning rendition of ‘Don’t Forget Your Roots/Kia Mau Ki Tō Ūkaipō’ – And for the third year in a row, the boys went home with the Tui for Highest Selling Artist (Te Toa Hoko Teitei) 🤩
