We're celebrating some of the best performances of the year

2025 has been a huge year for NZ Live, which celebrated its 20th anniversary with an entire month of extended birthday performances from Marlon Williams, Dave Dobbyn, Julia Deans, Don McGlashan & The Beths. 

In addition to those artists, we've had 37 others through the NZ Live studio this year.

They generally do 5 songs each so that's over 200 - mostly amazing - performances to choose from.

If your favourite hasn't made it into today's show, don't forget you can listen back to them all via the RNZ website.
