The Chicks Head to Aotearoa
Hot of the Trucking Cap of Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen, Arenas look set to be full to capacity again with country superstars The Chicks playing In Auckland and Christchurch in October. Wolfbrook Arena in Christchurch has already sold out its Oct 30 date with only a handful of tickets remaining for the Auckland Spark arena date of Oct 28th. The cheapest tickets for Auckland as of September 18th on ticketmaster were priced from 160 dollars. Earning universal recognition as the biggest-selling U.S. female band of all time, The Chicks have sold more than 30.5 million albums and are among an elite group of artists and the only female group to achieve multiple Diamond selling releases; reaching the stratospheric landmark of over 10 million copies sold, with both ‘Wide Open Spaces’ (1998) and ‘Fly’ (1999). Elle King is support for both Shows
Please be vigilante purchasing tickets through a third party – especially on Facebook – many Kiwis were ripped off by overseas scammers when Luke Combs rolled into town through elaborate facebook scams selling ” unwanted tickets “. Southern Cross Country Announcer Mike Puru was one of many who fell for the scam. Viagogo is also very risky so please be careful

Kaylee Bell Receives CMA nomination
The Country Music Association (CMA) has shared its nominees for the CMA International Awards, Kaylee Bell alongside
Canada’s Tebey and Australia’s Casey Barnes are nominated for the Jeff Walker Global Country Artist award.
Bell has also recently been announced as the first female Australasian country artist to be accredited Gold for a single or EP in Australia in 20 years for her EP Red, and she’s also the first independent female country artist to claim the title.
The last time a female country artist received an Aria-certified gold EP or single was in 2003 when Australian country icon, Kasey Chambers’ hit single True Colours went gold. It’s something Bell can’t quite believe, “It’s just crazy to me that it’s taken that long but it’s also like I just feel so proud to be the next person that has done it.”
Kaylee has had an astounding year, completing a near sell out tour of NZ in June and has recently been in Nashville working with some of the best country producers and writers in the industry. Kaylee added
“I’m Honoured to be nominated for the CMA Country Music Association ‘Global Country Artist’ International Award alongside Casey Barnes and Tebey who are shifting the dial for CM globally.
“So proud to be a part of the growth of Country Music happening in NZ and Australia, thanks to you guys for supporting a genre I care so much about!”
The CMA’s will be held in Nashville on November 8th – SX Country wishes Kaylee all the luck our country boots can handle
