Summer super-group L.A.B. will bring the party to Christchurch’s North Hagley Park for New Year’s Eve.
L.A.B. featuring the Kora brothers, Brad and Stu, along with Joel Shadbolt, Miharo Gregory and Ara Adams-Tamatea, will headline the big night out as the city dances into 2020.
Two of the band’s records have been in the New Zealand Top 40 charts for more than 30 weeks.
“We always love playing in Christchurch and we are looking forward to bringing in the New Year and starting 2020 with the people of Ōtautahi,” the band said.
Stage powerhouse Dillastrate, indie-pop act The Response, dance pop singer-songwriter PRINS and Canterbury SmokefreeRockquest winner Sneaky Caribbean Monk Seals will also join the city council backed party.
“What better place to party into 2020 than our fantastic central city park,” said city council event and arts manager Lucky Blackmore.
“We have some exciting changes ahead for our free New Year’s Eve festival and are thrilled to be hosting the hugely popular L.A.B., as well as showcasing our amazing local talent.
“It’s a great excuse to experience a Christchurch New Year celebration with family and friends.”
Presented by The Edge radio station, the party kicks off at 6pm as the Court Jesters bring the interactive family fun. DJ Spinal will also spin some favourite anthems throughout the evening.
The party winds down at 12.15am.
