Music legend Tiki Taane is headlining a massive pool of local talent at the upcoming Go Live Festival.
Back for its third year, Ōtautahi’s winter music festival will feature 14 acts playing across four stages at the Christchurch Town Hall on Saturday 29 July.
Christchurch-born Tiki Taane says he’s looking forward to some “home town love”.
His debut solo single Always on my mind spent a record-breaking 55 weeks in the New Zealand top 40. He has performed with Salmonella Dub, Six60 and Shapeshifter.He will be joined by 13 other acts including rock outfit Pieces of Molly, pop princess ASHY, and ethereal dance trio Beacon Bloom.
“I think it’s great to do showcases and throw down in front of new audiences. It’s an awesome experience and they’ll learn a lot from it which can only help,” says Tiki.
Tiki Taane is no stranger to the Christchurch Town Hall, most recently playing the Ōtautahi 4 Aotearoa fundraiser for Cyclone Gabrielle in February.
“The Christchurch Town Hall is beautiful and it holds many amazing memories for me as a performer and a punter,” he says.
