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.
Indie-pop folk band Grawlixes will be opening the Saturday 23 afternoon music session, before the folk-inspired electronic music of Blaek. Wellington band Anxiety Club will take us into the evening with their alt-country feel good anthems, followed by the sounds of critically-acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Lake South. Closing the first Saturday night will be Same Name Confusion, playing tracks from their recently released debut EP 'In Theory'. Having quickly made a name for themselves as one of New Zealand's most exciting new bands, this is a show not to be missed.
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.
