You're invited to a gig to help support the future of live music in Ōtautahi Christchurch!
Come celebrate PC21's progress and show some love for Darkroom on Thurs July 2nd, with local faves Model Home, Guideless and Karleshia taking to the stage!
Our local venue operators have been working with Christchurch City Council since 2022 towards updating the noise rules in our city. Progress is positive but slow going, and the best way to support our precious venues in the meantime, is simply by showing up to gigs, to help make sure they're still around when/if PC21 is finally officially implemented!
Thurs July 2nd at Darkroom
7pm doors, music from 7:30pm
Tickets from UTR
R18. R.O.A.R.
Ticket sales will go to support Darkroom and their ongoing advocacy work in pushing for this essential plan change. Feather and Nick have given over 1000 unpaid hours towards PC21 over the past few years while also holding down day jobs and managing the day to day operations of Darkroom. Now the duo have been invited to speak at a conference in Auckland in August to share their learnings with other venue operators from around the motu who may also be looking to lobby their own Councils for change to protect live music. A modest speaker fee is offered, but it's not enough to cover the cost of flights.
More about PC21:
The Christchurch City Council are proposing changes to the District Plan’s rules about noise in the Central City, particularly when it comes to live music, entertainment, and areas like St Asaph St, where there is a mix of both residential buildings & commercial businesses. The Council is currently seeking public feedback on the proposed Central City Noise Plan Change (PC21), and the responses from members of the public will be used to inform the outcome. The proposed changes of PC21 will help to protect live music as more housing is built near our precious venues. To be at this stage of the process is another huge milestone, after 4 years of hard work, but there is still quite a way to go. Come down, do your submission, see some local music, and support Darkroom by turning up now, and helping them get through Winter so they're still around when/if PC21 finally comes into effect!
