An epic afternoon of live music by Canterbury’s best young bands!

Sunday, July 19th
12:30–4:30pm
A Rolling Stone, Christchurch
$13 entry (under 16's free!)

Last year was so awesome we've decided to do it again. We’ve found the most talented primary & intermediate school bands across Canterbury — now they’re hitting the stage to show you what the next generation of Kiwi rockstars can do! Each band is bringing a 15-minute set, including at least one original song.

Featuring:

First show (12:30pm - 2pm):
Electric Ivy
Area7
Casebrook Chaos
Rewind
Shadow Beasts

Second Show (2pm - 4:30pm):
Hysteria
Silver Signal
The Combovers
Jimi's Watching

The band that brings the biggest audience wins a $250 Music Planet voucher — so make sure you tell us who you're there to support when you arrive!

All ages welcome — bring your whānau, your mates, your nan, and your neighbor. Let’s pack the place and give these young legends the crowd they deserve!
