Bring your friends and family and we’ll bring the noise as Wellington welcomes the world at this spectacular opening night event. The Big Bang will star 200 young New Zealanders from Wellington, Christchurch and South Auckland in a drumming group led by internationally acclaimed percussion ensemble Strike. They’ll be taking to the stage in Civic Square alongside hundreds of singers from community choirs across the region and top Kiwi band Kora, who’ll bring their own special blend of future-shocked funk, soul and R’n’B to the mix. This will be an explosive night for the whole of Wellington to remember – we’ll see you there!
The Big Bang is also being made possible through donations to the Festival’s Drum Up Support appeal on Boosted. We reached our target through public contributions and a grant from the Jetstar Flying Start programme . Thanks to everyone who donated!
Please note that this is an alcohol free family event. Drinking and/or possession of liquor is prohibited at all times in any public place within the Wellington City control area.
