Ignite Announce Auckland Headline Show

Orange County, California punk veterans Ignite will soon play their first ever Aotearoa date after three decades of active duty, headlining Tāmaki Makaurau's Neck Of The Woods on 27th February. Including founding bassist Brett Rasmussen and long-term members Craig Anderson (drummer from 1997 onwards), Kevin Kilkenny and Nik Hill, with new vocalist Eli Santana, IGNITE's politically-charged brand of melodic hardcore is repped on six studio long players and a score of EP / split / compilation releases — including their breakout '00s albums A Place Called Home and Darkest Days, and their explosive latest album 2022's eponymous Ignite. Touring relentlessly since their formation in 1993, Ignite have brought the ruckus in more than 40 countries. Don't dare miss their debut local event with special guests this summer, brought to you by The Syndicate Touring and Sticky Fingaz Tour Management...
