In a world preoccupied with instant gratification and overnight success, LEISURE have been taking the scenic route. The six members – and mates – came together in 2015 on a spontaneous trip up New Zealand’s rugged west coast. At that stage, they’d independently spent years churning through the music machine’s tight jaws. Individually, the five are award-winning songwriters, producers, and creatives. Together, they resolved to carve out a new musical paradigm: cut the crap, enjoy the ride, and above all, keep it LEISURE. Their 2025 album, Welcome To The Mood, follows the acclaimed 2023 album Leisurevision. 850+ million streams later, festivals like Lollapalooza, M3F, Austin City Limits, Corona Capital, and sold-out headline dates throughout NZ, Australia, the UK, Europe, and the US, they’re doing something right.
