Aotearoa Level 2 Gigs For The Weekend

Some ace seated shows are taking place across Aotearoa this week, as bands and venues make it happen during Alert Level 2, while we all keenly wait for gig restrictions to lift under the forthcoming new traffic light system. Highlights for the week include the South Island wrap up leg of Pōneke punks DARTZ's already legendary Toyota Corolla tour, Eyegum's weekly showcase at the capital's San Fran tonight, electronic artist Dream Chambers' launch event for their superb new album at Pyramid Club on Thursday (which is already sold out, we hope you snagged tickets), Ghost Bells' (Peter Porteous, Robbie Yeats and Mick Elborado) two night residency also at Pyramid Club, and Sam Cullen x Josie Moon's Thursday night double headline show — some rock solid options for Wellingtonians there.

Don't forget that masks and social distancing are required under Level 2, but gigs are no longer capped at a specific number of attendees — check out the updated Level 2 guidelines for bars HERE and for events / entertainment HERE. We recommend grabbing presale tickets for the shows below (where available) while you can...
