New Venue 'Moon' Set To Launch In Wellington

Following the recent closure of both Puppies and Mighty Mighty, the Wellington scene will soon see a new live venue open its doors. At the end of the month Moon is launching in the southern suburb of Newtown at 167 Riddiford Street. The people behind Moon say their aim is to create "a fair venue for all the musicians with a ethos of humble pie". They already have a huge line up planned for the opening night as well as events right into September. Check it out below...
