JOIN US at Smash Palace this Oketopa/October 4 for an incredible line up, all in the name of reminding/encouraging the good folk of Te Tairawhiti (particularly the young adults) to enrol, to vote in this years general election.
Join rangatahi XERO.JAMS, HIGH ON LIFE, RADIO SILENCE and THE GENERATORS (all gifting their sets) for a late afternoon of top notch tunes from our amazing next gen and get enrolled!
There will be a friendly, non-partisan support crew at the door, to help you get enrolled online, or, filling out those papers.
DOORS 3PM - kicking off at 3.30PM
ROCK’EN’ROL is a collective of Independent Music Venues, across the motu, uniting to help get rangatahi/young adults enrolled to vote!
Venues are joining forces with local hip-hop crews, punk bands, pop & folk artists, DJs, community leaders, comedians, rabble-rousers & local legends to help create a whole lot of events!
The kaupapa is simple: provide enrolment support + a great event, to encourage youth participation.
By making enrolment easy, visable & accessible, independent music venues are uniting in support of rangatahi/young adults getting enrolled to vote, ready for the upcoming general election (just around the corner)!
New voter restrictions means voters must be enrolled - and have updated their address (if they’ve moved) - by midnight on Sunday 25 October!!!
People will no longer be able to enrol at a voting place/on the day, nor can folks enrol during the fortnight leading up to election day.
Election Day is Saturday 7 November.
If you enrol by midnight on Sunday 4 October you’ll be sent an EasyVote card, making voting faster & easier. High recommend.
Events will be held throughout September and October 2026 at Independent Music Venues across Aotearoa. Check out a ROCK'EN'ROL event at an Independent Music Venue near you!
