A KNOCKOUT performance of Dani Josie's 'Suckerpunch' 👊

After a breakout year with festival stages and a rapidly growing fanbase, Wellington pop-punk artist Dani Josie is stepping into the ring with her first-ever headline tour. The Suckerpunch Spring Tour will hit Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Auckland this September and October, with special guest Emerson joining the run.

From being inspired by a concert to 'Suckerpunch' becoming a concert Dani says: “The funny thing is the idea for 'Suckerpunch' actually came from a concert. I was in the girls’ bathroom and overheard some girls whispering about me being there alone. Instead of feeling upset, I genuinely found it funny. It made me realise – some people just never grow up. All they know is how to throw a punch."
