When: 1 - 31 May 2026 (hours will vary depending on laundromats)
Cost: Free

OPENING EVENT DETAILS COMING SOON

What's a C-Side?
Not an A-Side. Not a B-Side. Music that would have never been heard. The FRESH LAUNDRY compilation is built entirely from local C-Sides: songs written, recorded, and loved by artists - but left sitting on a hard drive, unreleased. Genre doesn’t matter. Length doesn’t matter. The compilation aims to unearth and celebrate the rich, diverse soundscape of Aotearoa – in the most unexpected of places.
Bring your laundry. Discover something new. Head to one of five laundromats across Tāmaki Makaurau, plug in, and let the wash cycle take you somewhere unexpected.
