Sunshine, music, food and drinks – this could be the perfect summer outing! I’m packing my picnic hamper, filling my chilly bin with cool treats and heading out to Hagley Park on Saturday January 30 with a few well-chosen rugs and cushions to see some of New Zealand’s favourite artists. Join me there to enjoy old faves The Phoenix Foundation, Don McGlashan and The Nameless Sons Feat, and Paul McLaney of Gramsci and Fly My Pretties fame.

I’m looking forward to groovin’ to the beat of some new talent, too – Canterbury’s hottest new band Electric Wire Hustle will get you up on your feet with their blend of soul, psychedelic and hip hop. They’ve been receiving rave reviews throughout Europe! We’ll also hear from Marianne Dissard and Delaney Davidson, Sleepy Age and The Handsome Family.

On the decks throughout the day will be New Zealand’s hip hop royalty PMoney, producer and RDU drive host Ghost and Wellington’s electronic maestro Module.

On the day, the park will be bustling with delicious food stalls and a bar service, promising a well-rounded day out for a bear on the lookout for some summer fun (and for people too!).

Adults $27+bf, youths (13-17) $20+bf and kids under 12 free!
