Get ready to groove, Whakatū!
We’re thrilled to make a couple of early announcements for our 2023 contemporary music programme.
Drum roll, please, as we welcome Irish Music legends Gráda to Neudorf Vineyards, and the incredible KITA to our Deville Music Hub!
Gráda
From Sydney Opera House and Ireland’s National Concert Hall to the Upper Moutere: Irish music heroes Gráda reunite to tour their homelands – Ireland and Aotearoa. With over 1,000 cities in 30 countries over 10 years under their belt, Gráda are “to Irish music what Arcade Fire is to Indie – informal, prodigious and full of spirit” (The Washington Post). This will be the perfect way to spend your Sunday and get your boogie on!
Neudorf Vineyards | Sunday 29 October | Doors from 12pm, concert starts 2pm.
GRÁDA are supported by Neudorf Vineyards and Avoca Web Design.
KITA
Despite the overwhelming news of the everyday, remember: Love Lives Here! Pōneke-based KITA meshes folk-soul, guitar and storytelling with thick lush sounds and barking psychedelic drums to bring you a must-see live experience. Off the back of Splore and WOMAD, Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant, Ed Zuccollo (ZUKE) and Rick Cranson (Little Bushman) will blow you away “with [their] massive sound”.
Get ready to forget what you thought you knew about a three-piece band!
Deville Music Hub | Saturday 21 October | Doors from 8pm, Support Act 8.30pm, Main Act 9.30pm
All our 2023 Deville Music Hub gigs are supported by Savage & Savage.
Both gigs will be Pay What You Can ticketing (PWYC) – tickets will be on sale from Friday 1 September 2023.
We can’t wait to see you on the dance floor, Whakatū!
