Six60 (stylized SIX60) is a New Zealand pop rock band formed in Dunedin, Otago, in 2008. It consists of Matiu Walters (vocals, guitar), Ji Fraser (lead guitar), Chris Mac (drums, bass), and Marlon Gerbes (guitar, bass, synthesizer).

Their self-titled debut album was released on October 10, 2011 on their own label, Massive Entertainment. Produced and mixed by Tiki Taane, it debuted at number one on the New Zealand charts and was certified gold in its first week of release. Their first two singles, “Rise Up 2.0” and “Don't Forget Your Roots,” reached number one and number two respectively on the RIANZ singles chart, and were certified double and triple platinum.

In 2018, the band won five Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards and was the most-streamed artist by New Zealanders on Spotify. On February 23, 2019, Six60 became the first New Zealand band to sell out Western Springs Stadium, playing to a crowd of 50,000. On April 24, 2021, Six60 gave the first-ever concert at Auckland's Eden Park Stadium, before 50,000 people, closing out the national Six60 Saturdays tour and becoming the biggest concert of 2021. In February 2024, founding member Eli Paewai left the band, explaining that his “personal journey with music was coming to an end.”
