Weekly Roundup: Friday 26th February

It's set to be a bustling weekend for live events all across Aoteoroa — if you're hunting around for a show to go to, we've got plenty of top notch gig picks to keep you keen below. Announcement highlights for the week included Taite Music Prize winning Street Chant songwriter Emily Edrosa is touring her debut solo album Another Wave is Coming nationwide this March, Andrew Fagan of new wave pop icons The Mockers will be playing gems from throughout his back catalogue with his band The People across NZ in April, and Pōneke garage surf rockers Solo Ono will be splashing up a storm on their Now We Know Who to Blame tour. More notable events unveiled during the week included the forthcoming return of Ōtepoti annual tradition Feastock (after one year off due to the accursed Covid) this April, the hugely popular Single Fin Mingle Village Knees Up will be taking over Christchurch beachside suburb Sumner's Village Mall also in April, and Deva Mahal is celebrating the launch of her new collaborative single with Zoe Moon 'Sister' at Pōneke's San Fran this March.
