PRINCESS CHELSEA - EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT PREVIEW SHOW
16th APRIL - NECK OF THE WOODS, TĀMAKI MAKAURAU
Have you ever been to a Princess Chelsea show? It's pretty amazing. Not only are the cinematic pop tunes unlike anything you've heard before, but Chelsea and the band are absolutely brilliant. It is a wonderful experience. They'll be playing some classic and new material at Neck of the Woods in with Bub on Saturday 16th April.

BIG THIEF
3rd DEC - THE POWERSTATION, AUCKLAND
4th DEC -THE OPERA HOUSE, WELLINGTON
Eeeep! This one got our attention. Big Thief will be visiting Aotearoa in December and will be playing at The Powerstation (Tāmaki Makaurau) and The Opera House (Te Whanganui-A-Tara). We have no idea how they're going to select material for this one out of the hundreds of songs that have blessed our ears over the past few years. However, we won't complain if they play absolutely everything and we end up staying for a few hours.
