Aotearoa Gigs For The Weekend

"Only boring people are bored" is what my Dad would always say, and who could even pretend to feel jaded when there's so many fantastic gig options on our doorstep? Delve into our stacked selection of events taking place across Aotearoa this week below (more options HERE) — you can secure your spot by grabbing presale tickets while you can. Please consider masking up at gigs to help minimise the chance of musicians getting sick on tour, plus HERE are some tips for creating a safe gig space during the pandemic for both organisers and attendees to consider / put into effect...

If you're planning a live event 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.
