It’s been a secret so far, but now we can reveal the incredible CYRIL will play at the 2025 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards afterparty.

Who’s playing the 2025 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards afterparty?

It’s been the question on everyone’s lips since SYNTHONY wowed the crowd at last year’s event. And now, with just over three weeks until the 2025 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards, StopPress can reveal the answer: CYRIL.

NZ Marketing magazine and partners NZ Marketing Association are thrilled to announce the Australian DJ will bring his genre-bending remixes and high-voltage energy, that has lit up stages all over the world including a Main Stage performance at the world’s biggest dance festival Tomorrowland, to our very own dancefloor.

CYRIL burst onto the scene in late 2023 with Stumblin' In and his remix of
Grammy-nominated band Disturbed's Sound of Silence. In less than two years, his fandom
includes 200K+ subs and over 600 Million Views across his music on YouTube.

John Miles, Marketing Association CEO, says: “CYRIL rocked the house down at the Auckland Domain this year and was amazing. People better bring their dancing shoes as this afterparty will be epic!.”

“Last year’s shows was amazing, and this year’s will be incredible. CYRIL is a world-class act, and a perfect way to celebrate the world-class work from our industry,” adds Penny Murray, NZ Marketing magazine editor.

Caroline Rainsford, Google New Zealand Country Director, says: “As YouTube ushers in a new era of creator led entertainment, artists like CYRIL are harnessing the power of connecting directly with a global fandom. His incredible rise, fueled by millions of views and devoted subscribers, is a testament to the power of authentic connection and the vibrant community that thrives on YouTube. We can’t wait to see him in action at the awards!”

In partnership with YouTube, NZ Marketing and the NZ Marketing Association are bringing CYRIL – one of the hottest DJs on the planet right now – to the 2025 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards Night at Spark Arena on Wednesday September 3. The evening is dedicated to the biggest and brightest marketing talent and work in Aotearoa for 2025.
