Kaylee Bell

ARTIST KEYNOTE

NEW ZEALAND

Kaylee Bell is an award-winning New Zealand Country Pop artist who has built a global career from her hometown of Waimate, taking her music from Aotearoa to some of the world’s biggest stages. In 2026, Bell performed at the 37,000 strong sold-out Once In A Lifetime concert - the first ever show at Christchurch’s One New Zealand Stadium. 2026 also saw her inducted into the NZ Gold Guitar Awards Hands of Fame, recognising her significant contribution to New Zealand country music. Later this year, Bell will head to the UK for a 13-date tour supporting The Shires continuing her international expansion.
Bell’s recent achievements build on an extraordinary run of success. Her NZ Gold-certified single “Boots N All” reached #1 on the NZ Hot Singles Chart and led to her first headline New Zealand tour, selling more than 10,000 tickets across 17 dates. Her album Nights Like This debuted at #1 on the New Zealand Album Chart, while her 2025 album Cowboy Up debuted at #2 on the Aotearoa Top 20 Album Chart. She has also performed to huge audiences at Australia’s CMC Rocks, the country’s premier country music festivals.

With more than 100 million catalogue streams and five consecutive years as Australasia’s Most Streamed Female Country Artist, Bell has shared stages with Ed Sheeran, The Chicks, Keith Urban and Kane Brown and represented women in music as the face of Spotify’s EQUAL Global campaign in Times Square, New York.

An independent artist with a distinctly global reach, Kaylee Bell continues to break new ground for New Zealand Country music, building an international career while remaining firmly connected to her Aotearoa roots.
