Paymark data shows spending through its Core Retail network rose 1.2% last month compared to a year ago.
Canterbury recorded the strongest regional growth, with spending up 2.8%.
Retail New Zealand's Carolyn Young told Francesca Rudkin that events drive activity.
She says the Six60 concert significantly increased spending in the Christchurch area.
