US alternative-pop artist sombr is making his New Zealand headline debut this December.

Shane Boose became sombr via a make-shift recording studio in his bedroom. His song ‘Caroline’ (released in 2022) became a sad girl anthem, taking the internet by storm. The track was self-produced, self-written and self-released when sombr was just 16, it has since been streamed on Spotify over 45 million times.

Continuing to drop EPs and singles ever since, sombr now has over 28 million monthly listeners. His songs ‘would’ve been you’, ‘do I ever cross your mind’, ‘back to friends’ and latest single ‘undressed’ have become indie-rock hits, with the latter two certified Gold in Australia and both currently in the top 10 of the ARIA singles chart. sombr also teamed up with Rachel Chinouriri (2025 Britt Nominee and support for Sabrina Carpenter’s tour) to release a remix / collab of Rachel’s hit ‘All I Ever Asked’.

$2.50 per hour to a max of $12.50 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more
