Messie
After a breakout opening set for Fred Again and a stellar run of shows across New Zealand, Wellington-based DJ MESSIE (aka Tessa Hills) is the latest talent to push Aotearoa’s electronic dance music scene to filthy new heights.
Hand-picked by Fred Again to open for his surprise show at Coroglen Tavern in March 2024, the Gisborne-born DJ quickly struck up a friendship with the UK electronic superstar. This connection led to Fred flying her out to Perth to open for his largest show to date—performing in front of 35,000 fans. Even a last-minute passport hurdle couldn’t stop her, with Fred personally stepping in to help secure an urgent grant to make it happen.
MESSIE’s sets are a guaranteed wild ride, packed with bootlegs and something for everyone. Drawing from her eclectic taste, she blends rap and grime with early 2000s singalongs, girl-boss anthems, and queer music culture, all delivered through unexpected, high-energy edits.
This is a night not to miss.
