SUMMARY:Mudhoney
DESCRIPTION:Seattle grunge legends Mudhoney return to New Zealand for the first time in over a decade\, playing Totara Street\, Mount Maunganui on Friday 30 October – their only Bay of Plenty show and a rare chance to see grunge royalty up close in Tauranga. \nFor the first time in over a decade\, Mudhoney return to New Zealand for a run of intimate shows. Renowned for their ferocious live performances\, the band continue to deliver the same high-voltage mix of sludgy riffs\, pounding rhythms and Mark Arm’s unmistakable snarl that made them one of the most influential rock bands of their era. \nFormed in Seattle in 1988\, Mudhoney helped define the sound that would become known as grunge\, combining garage rock\, punk and heavy distortion into something raw\, loud and entirely their own. As one of the cornerstone acts of legendary independent label Sub Pop\, the band became a crucial influence on the explosion of alternative rock that followed\, with tracks like ‘Touch Me I’m Sick’ and ‘Suck You Dry’ remaining enduring underground classics. \nMore than 35 years on\, Mudhoney remain as vital as ever\, continuing to release acclaimed new music and proving night after night why they are regarded as one of the greatest live rock bands of their generation. \n“When it comes to grunge\, or even just Seattle\, I think there was one band that made the definitive music of the time. It wasn’t us or Nirvana\, but Mudhoney. Nirvana delivered it to the world\, but Mudhoney were the band of that time and sound.” – Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) \nA rare chance to experience genuine grunge royalty up close. \nDOORS 7:30PM – R18 \nBuy Tickets \nFacebook Event

SUMMARY:Double Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Join Bay of Plenty Symphonia on Sunday\, November 15\, 2026\, for a very special homecoming\, as Tauranga siblings Anna and Dominic Lee return to perform with the orchestra that played a part in their early musical journeys. \nAnna and Dominic have both gone on to build impressive musical careers since growing up in Tauranga and taking part in Bay of Plenty Symphonia’s Rising Stars Competition in 2013. Now\, they return to the orchestra as soloists in Brahms’ beautiful Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. \nIt’s a chance to hear two accomplished musicians who grew up here sharing the stage\, and to celebrate the journey that has taken them from Tauranga to audiences further afield. \nUnder the baton of the orchestra’s Music Director Michael Joel\, the concert opens with Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music in its orchestral version\, a warm and lyrical work full of colour and beauty. The programme concludes with Borodin’s Symphony No. 2\, a powerful and richly textured work that brings the full orchestra into its own. \nWhether you remember Anna and Dominic from their early days in Tauranga or are hearing them for the first time\, this is a concert with a strong local connection and plenty to enjoy. \nCome along and help us give Anna and Dominic a warm Tauranga welcome home. \n  \nVisit the facebook page

SUMMARY:Rick Price Live
DESCRIPTION:Rick Price LIVE at Arts Junction Theatre | Katikati\nAustralian music icon Rick Price is finally coming to New Zealand\, playing intimate\, listening-room venues around the country! \nFrom the timeless “Heaven Knows” to the beloved “Not a Day Goes By”\, his songs have travelled across the world for decades—quietly finding their way into people’s lives with a rare kind of honesty\, warmth\, and emotional depth. \n“His voice is just as remarkable as it has always been.” — The Rockpit \n“A master storyteller that resonates across generations.” — Australian Musician Magazine \n  \n📍 ARTS JUNCTION THEATRE – KATIKATI \n\nSaturday 28 November\n7pm doors / 7:30pm show\nSeated\nFamily Friendly (with $25 under 18 tickets)\nVERY LIMITED early bird ticket option\n\nDON’T miss your chance to see live music at it’s finest! \nWHAT TO EXPECT \nBest known for his unmistakable voice and deeply heartfelt songwriting\, Rick Price first rose to international prominence in the early ’90s\, with “Heaven Knows” becoming a global hit and “Not a Day Goes By” cementing his place as one of Australia’s most beloved artists. Those songs didn’t just chart—they endured\, becoming part of the emotional fabric of a generation of listeners around the world. \nAt the height of that success\, Rick made the move to Nashville—immersing himself in one of the world’s great songwriting cities and deepening his craft. It’s a path that shaped the artist he is today: one grounded in authenticity\, storytelling\, and a lifelong dedication to the song above all else. \nHis music carries a sincerity that cuts through\, and his live performances reflect that completely—intimate\, engaging\, and deeply human.
