Aotearoa Gigs For The Weekend

With not just any old long weekend ahead of us, rather ­the historic first national public holiday to celebrate Matariki, it's no wonder the next few nights are chocka with excellent events. From Whangarei to Ōtepoti, we're spoilt for choice when it comes to local gigs, whether you're after a UHP (fka Upper Hutt Posse) throwback, a boisterous sing-along evening with the Jordan Luck Band, or a night of '80s nostalgia, we've got you covered...

If you're planning a live show and / or tour in the near future, we're here to help with our free (for organisers) ticketing service — you can get the ball rolling by adding your gig HERE.
