Good things come in small packages. That’s why Mermaidens have created Mini Mermgrown - a fun-sized version of their beloved Mermgrown Festival. On Friday 2 Dec they’ll be squeezing all the goodness of the festival into San Fran - with two stages and NINE artists. All Mermgrown events have sold out previously, and this one will be no different!

Mini Mermgrown will wrap up another year of high notes for Mermaidens - which include supporting bands like Parquet Courts, celebrating Flying Nun with a performance at Christchurch Art Gallery, and most importantly finishing their 4th studio album. Mermaidens will premiere this new material at Mini Mermgrown, along with plenty of songs from previous releases.

Alongside Mermaidens, the lineup features Taite Prize and Aotearoa Music Award-nominated artist Vera Ellen, who has had a killer year following the release of her album “It’s Your Birthday”. Also joining the lineup are ONONO, a project led by Jono Nott (Hans Pucket, Broods) that will get you shimmying like nobody’s business. Mermaidens are very excited to welcome Kōtiro, aka Ana Scotney who is a superstar both in the music world and on the big screen - having starred in films like Millie Lies Low and The Breakerupperers.

The second stage will feature synthpop princess Hybrid Rose, with a show dripping with campy flair and hyper-femme energy. Merm-goers will also be treated to a special show from up-and-coming artist Vida. From midnight, Practice Presents will take over the stage with DJs Alice Agnes, Eml and Meggs playing into the small hours.

First band at 8:25pm, DJs playing until 3am.
