The Performance Arcade is back, and music curator Thomas Friggens is pleased to present an exciting line-up as part of the Live Music Series programme. Featuring a hand-picked selection of bands and artists, laidback afternoon sessions will lead into vibrant night time sets.
Kicking off the exclusive opening night programme on 21 Feb will be the experimental synth-pop sounds of Wellington-based Paper Ghost. Audio-visual duo Kuki Koori, otherwise known as VJ artist Mick Finn, and Iain Gordon of Fat Freddy's Drop will be presenting their performance piece 'The Time Flies Show'. Closing the night will be guitar pop power-trio Hans Pucket, performing an energetic and eclectic set of tunes to prepare you for the rest of the Arcade weekend...
The award-winning event will be showcasing a diverse programme of art, live music and performance, installed within a special architectural arrangement of shipping containers. Free performance events and interactive activities will showcase both NZ and International artists.
Since 2011 the Live Music Series has developed a reputation amongst musicians and fans as an exciting opportunity to discover new sounds, try new ideas, and encounter some of the best from Wellington’s formidable music scene.
A pop-up bar provides exclusive Arcade brews from Tuatara, wine from Leftfield and cider by Three Wise Birds, whilst Food For the People will be cooking up the best in hot foods using local ingredients.
