Gin, Laughton, Haz + Miloux, Tali, Powder Chutes, DJ Bobby

Seven top Kiwi talents hit the Town Hall stage in Wanaka to perform some of their most iconic tracks plus some brand new fresh ones.

As we get ready to welcome you all to Wanaka - we have a few changes to let you know about. 

Unfortunately, due to health reasons, Tom Scott is unable to travel to join us this weekend. While we would have loved to have had him with us, travel wasn’t an option and his health comes first. We wish Tom a speedy recovery! 

The incredible NZ music family has stepped up and shown their support! We are delighted to announce not one, not two, but three extra performers for the Saturday night show (big shoes to fill, Tom!)

Laughton Kora - he needs no introduction, and cannot wait to perform his rare solo set to kick off the Saturday night May 3rd. 

Also joining the lineup is Powder Chutes! They will be performing parts of their new EP which is ranking super high on NZ charts.

Even MORE to announce is that the incredible Tali will be joining us as a tutor AND performer! 

Having won NZ Music awards for Highest Selling Album (Holy Smoke) Single of the Year (“Black Sheep”) Best Female Solo Artist and Best Pop Album (Gravel & Wine), Gin Wigmore shows why she’s one of Aotearoa’s most beloved performers.

The collaboration between veteran producer Haz Beats and soul-heavy vocalist/producer Miloux (Rebecca Melrose) is the perfect pairing of two boldly creative artists.Haz & Miloux’s sound incorporates elements from soul, jazz, r&b and hip hop, and can best be described as neo-soul. After coming together in 2018, Haz & Miloux went on to win the Aotearoa Music Award for Best Soul/RnB Artist Award in 2020, are twice short-listed Silver Scroll nominees, and have performed internationally to a loyal following.

With a DJ career that spans almost 20 years, Bobby Brazuka (Latinaotearoa) has carved out a niche playing Latin and Latin-inspired music in Aotearoa. Growing up listening to Brazilian greats Jorge Ben, Tim Maia and Marcos Valle, Bobby infused his rich musical heritage into Auckland’s DJ culture, building a community around his Latin parties and earning himself a reputation as our unofficial Brazilian Music Ambassador. With over 3000 records from samba and bossa, to cumbia, soul and funk, Bobby’s extensive collection of rare 45’s and original pressings define his curated vinyl show.

This is one night out in Wanaka you do NOT want to miss.
