Sidewinder Tickets

Sidewinder is a Wellington-based heavy rock outfit formed in 2021, renowned for their wall-of-riff psych sound that blends stoner rock textures with bluesy delta influences. The core lineup features Jem Tupe on vocals, Ben Sargent and Thomas Rousell on guitars, Si Randall on bass, and Grant Lister on drums. Since their debut, they have built a reputation for high-energy live shows, sold-out crowds, and acclaimed releases. The band has supported internationally recognized acts like Orange Goblin and Sasquatch, earning praise from NZ music media for their fearless riff-driven approach.

Their catalog showcases a steady ascent through independent and small-label releases, culminating in their most recent work, Dominion (2026) on Tiny Triumph Records. With Talons (2024) receiving widespread NZ media praise and Vines (2022) marking their self-driven growth, Sidewinder continues to push the envelope in the heavy rock scene. Fans can follow their journey on Bandcamp and Facebook for releases, shows, and tour updates.
