What already promises to be an entertaining night only gets better with the addition of EDM heavyweights Mt Eden, and the talk on the streets right now Raiza Biza.

Tickets go on sale Monday 16th March through usual outlets.

Six60 have achieved feverish local and international popularity, winning six New Zealand Music Awards, achieving quadruple platinum album sales for their self-titled debut ‘Six60’ and sold out nationwide tours. After spending lots of time in the studio recording their new album the boys are stoked to be back on tour playing to their loyal fans. They comment "since the day we finished the new album we have been non-stop working on sorting a tour. Finally we get to play what has been three years in the making to our home crowd!”

Six60 will deliver a high energy live show playing songs off their debut album as well as performing for the first time songs from their new album released 27 February, 2015.

The band has signed with new management - American based 'Atom Factory' with J Erving, who has worked with artists such as John Legend, Miguel, Nico and Vinz and Megan Trainor.

Support act, Mt Eden introduced a new wave of electronic music in 2009 with the release of ‘Sierra Leone’. Six years on after releasing two well-received EPs and a generous fistful of popular singles and remixes, the looming release of their highly anticipated ‘No Mans Land EP’, sees Jesse Cooper and Harley Rayner poised to take their brand of music to new pinnacles in 2015.

Raiza Biza is a young rapper based in Hamilton/Auckland. His lyrics are often reflective and introspective, and accompanied by soulful jazz-influenced instrumentals. He recently released the well-received LP ‘Dream Something’.
Don’t miss this incredible must see bill. Tickets will sell fast!
