ROCK'EN'ROL @ Leigh Sawmill Cafe -

LOUD & LOCAL!
0800 BELLY UP are back! And what better place to make a return than the mighty Leigh Sawmill Cafe, one of our favourite venues! Joined by our good friends and talented rockers Bad Neighbours who are local legends, and Primal A.D who are hitting the scene again after recordings some wicked tunes, you know they bring the energy if you have seen them live!

Come and kick off Spring with a bang, some wicked tunes and a great night at the Mill!

Also as part of the ROCK'EN'ROL initiative, there will be voting enrolment facilities at the show - so sign up to have your voice heard, then enjoy listening to some live music!

ROCK’EN’ROL is a collective of Independent Music Venues, across the Motu, uniting to help get rangatahi/young adults enrolled to vote!

Venues are joining forces with local hip-hop crews, punk bands, pop & folk artists, DJs, community leaders, comedians, rabble-rousers & local legends to help create a whole lot of events!

The kaupapa is simple: provide enrolment support + a great event, to encourage youth participation.

By making enrolment easy, visible & accessible, independent music venues are uniting in support of rangatahi/young adults getting enrolled to vote, ready for the upcoming general election (just around the corner)!

Events will be held throughout Hepetema/September & Oketopa/October across the Motu.

New voter restrictions mean voters must be enrolled - and have updated their address (if they’ve moved) - by midnight on Sunday 25 October!!!

People will no longer be able to enrol at a voting place/on the day, nor can folks enrol during the fortnight leading up to election day.

Election Day is Saturday 7 November.

If you enrol by midnight on Sunday 4 October you’ll be sent an EasyVote card, making voting faster & easier. Highly recommend.

Events will be held throughout September and October 2026 at Independent Music Venues across Aotearoa. Check out a ROCK'EN'ROL event at an Independent Music Venue near you!
