Nadia Reid
Soulful, intimate and self-possessed, it's easy to see why Nadia Reid's first two albums have earned her global praise and success. Nadia's prolific writing and touring have led to performances at WOMAD (NZ), Green Man Festival (UK), End of the Road Festival (UK) and the BBC's Later... with Jools Holland. Dunedin-born and soon to be UK-based, she snagged #2 in Mojo Magazine for Album of the Year, and here in New Zealand, she's been a finalist for both the APRA…
cLoud collective
This dynamic and daring debut will feature a kaleidoscope of sound highlighting the collective talents of Christchurch's most exciting new trio: cLoud Collective. Forget what you think you know! This one night only concert will reimagine familiar pieces while celebrating the very latest music from New Zealand's brightest contemporary composers.

As a singer, pianist, writer and producer, Mark has worked with New Zealand’s best, including Dave Dobbyn,…
The Bats and Pine
Back when the 'good old Dux' and Goodbye Blue Monday were the places to play, The Bats and Pine were regulars at many a gig... and for one night only, they'll be performing back-to-back again! Founded here in Christchurch in 1982, Flying Nun pioneers The Bats have been 'kicking it' for four decades, clocking nine albums and an impressive tally of extra singles, b-sides, compilations and tribute songs. Unsurprisingly, narrowing to a set of 'faves' can be a daunting task…

Joining them are local heroes T54, part of the legendary Flying Nun roster, who are regrouping after a four-year hiatus to show-off new tunes from their upcoming…
