More FM Summer Vineyard Tour Update: Demand Leads To Venue Change in New Plymouth

Happy New Year! The More FM Summer Vineyard Tour office is back in full swing and gearing up to hit the road next month. It’s all coming together nicely with an exciting venue change for New Plymouth and the addition of brand new sponsors, awesomely cool band mates and some more-than-delicious food and drinks - all on board and ready to go.

Due to popular demand, the New Plymouth show on 4 February has been moved from the Brookland Lawn to the picturesque surrounds of the infamous TSB Bowl of Brooklands. The larger venue boosts a beautiful backdrop and creates the perfect atmosphere for what will be a spectacular evening with some of music’s finest - international acts Aloe Blacc & The Grand Scheme, John Butler Trio, and local favourites Tiki Taane, Annabel Fay and Sweet Mix Kids. For customers who have already purchased tickets, your ticket(s) are valid for the new venue location and do not need to be exchanged.

And because we’re into squeezing in as much talent as possible, the lovely Miss Annabel Fay has also added some popular names to her live line-up including Dubstep juggernaut Bulletproof as her DJ and Decortica’s Tory Staples on drums.

MINI has joined the tour as a key sponsor of the event. They are coming along for the ride with the big 4 door MINI Countryman – MINI’s biggest yet!

And if you’re after a bit of a tipple, Cooper’s Pale Ale, Sapporo (selected venues) and Zeffer Cider will also be onsite as the official suppliers for the tour run. Let the countdown begin!

Aloe Blacc
Aloe Blacc’s 2010 worldwide hits, ‘I Need A Dollar’ (commissioned as the theme tune for HBO series How To Make It In America) and ‘Loving You Is Killing Me‘ are merely the tip of a very large iceberg, with Aloe fast becoming the spearhead of modern, 21st century soul. The smooth soul singer has taken over the charts both here and overseas, with television appearances on big shows such as The Graham Norton Show and Later With Jools Holland. His recent sell-out New Zealand shows also received rave reviews: "Blacc oozes charisma and has a remarkable stage presence" (stuff.co.nz) and “Aloe hit notes like the godson of soul” (Groove Guide). Aloe with his band The Grand Scheme is a guaranteed crowd pleaser on the More FM Summer Vineyard Tour for 2012.

John Butler Trio
Aussie greats John Butler Trio return to Kiwi shores off the back of releasing a limited edition box set album ‘Live At Red Rocks’. With the release of their 5th studio album April Uprising and a whirlwind 12 month tour last year, John Butler Trio have garnered incredible respect and rave reviews from fans and media around the world, making them absolutely one of Australia’s biggest music exports and a big hit with New Zealand audiences.

Earlier this year, he took out three Tuis at the 2011 New Zealand Music Awards including Best Male Solo Artist, Best Electronica and Best Maori album, as well as re-releasing his #1 Album In The World Of Light which features three bonus tracks, including the epic RWC remix of ‘My Lion’.
