New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has ruled out the possibility of running a dual DJ set with Australia’s new leader Anthony Albanese, ending hopes for a potential trans-Tasman collaboration between the two music enthusiasts.
Ardern and Albanese are both amateur DJs, having played highly-publicized sets during their political careers. In 2016, Albanese played a charity event in Melbourne ahead of that year’s election - ending with a sing-a-long to Iggy Pop’s The Passenger. Meanwhile Ardern was a headliner at Auckland’s popular Laneway Festival in 2014.
