Aotearoa Level 2 Gigs For The Weekend

Welcome to what's hopefully our final ever Level 2 weekend seated gig guide, as from next week (11:59pm on Thursday 2nd December to be precise) all of Aotearoa will be transitioning to the new traffic light system. Now's an excellent time to make sure you've got your My Vaccine Pass sorted if you haven't done so already, in advance of what's likely to be a flood of last minute show announcements — you can request yours by heading over to the official site HERE.

Highlights for the weekend ahead include Pōneke's all ages and multi-venue Slow Note 2021 festival of music and poetry (for lineup details head over HERE), Adam Hattaway and The Haunters Rooster album launch gigs in Ōtautahi (two shows) and Barrytown, Graeme Jefferies (The Cakekitchen, This Kind Of Punishment) in Canterbury and Dunedin, John Halvorsen's (Bailterspace, The Gordons) new project Vörsen at Valhalla, blues guitar legend Paul Ubana Jones in Dunedin, Deva Mahal at Queenstown's Sherwood on Sunday plus lots more.

Don't forget that masks and social distancing are still required under Alert Level 2, but gigs are no longer capped at a specific number of attendees — check out the updated Level 2 guidelines for bars HERE and for events / entertainment HERE.
