Skip The Light: Sound, Pop And Noise Festival - This Weekend in Wellington

Skip The Light: Sound, Pop And Noise Festival - This Weekend in Wellington

Chris Cudby / Photo: Varda / Wednesday 20th May, 2026 11:59AM

From this Tāmaki-based music lover's perspective, there have been some enviable sonic happenings in Te Whanganui-a-Tara this year so far. Humbly hosting a cross section of the capital's "finest sound, pop and noise artisans in the classical surrounds of Dom Polski Polish Association Hall," this Saturday's Skip The Light festival also features electric guzheng / drums duo 花溪 Flowerstream visiting from Tāmaki Makaurau, plus eyeball-zapping visuals by Lady Lazer Light and Vizshun. Happening from 6pm to midnight, this multi-media gift for Pōneke punters is supported by the A Low Hum Winter Fund, which you can learn more about in my freewheeling conversation with ALH helmsman Ian Jorgensen HERE. Grip the lineup details and don't miss out...
