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:Glen Hansard Tribute Night | Under the Stars Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:A Glen Hansard tribute night at Totara Street\, Mount Maunganui on Friday 4 December: local musicians celebrate the music of The Frames\, The Swell Season and Glen’s solo career\, with all profits going to Under the Stars to support people experiencing homelessness in Tauranga. \nFrom the raw\, passionate sound of The Frames \, the Dublin band he formed and fronted for more than 30 years\, through to The Swell Season\, his collaboration with Markéta Irglová that introduced his music to an even wider audience through Once\, and on to a hugely respected solo career. \nFor fans of The Frames in particular\, there is something about this music that was always meant to be experienced live\, loud\, intimate\, emotional and sometimes gloriously unpredictable. We’ve brought together an amazing line-up of local musicians to capture some of that spirit and celebrate the different chapters of Glen’s musical journey. \nThat spirit extends well beyond music. Glen has long used his voice and profile to champion people experiencing homelessness\, so it feels especially fitting that all profits from the night will go to Under the Stars\, supporting people experiencing homelessness right here in our community. \nAnd as December rolls around\, stuff the usual Christmas party. Bring your team\, your mates or your fellow lovers of good music down to Totara Street. Grab a drink\, have a dance\, sing your lungs out and help us raise some money for a brilliant local cause. \nThe Frames. The Swell Season. Glen Hansard. \nFriday 4 December 2026 | Totara Street\, Mount Maunganui\nDOORS 7PM\nSUPERVISED\n(Under 18 year olds can attend with their own parent) \nTICKETS

SUMMARY:Baggy Trousers
DESCRIPTION:Great minds think alike. We’d been planning our New Zealand return since January when Madness announced their tour—just two days before we were due to announce ours. With our February dates already booked\, we’re coming back across the ditch to see our Kiwi friends and help you Get Match Fit for Madness. \nBaggy Trousers—The Sound of Madness brings six shows to Wellington\, Auckland\, Mount Maunganui\, Napier\, Nelson and Christchurch. We’re taking the celebrations beyond the cities on Madness’s own itinerary\, bringing the music to intimate live music venues where you can experience it live\, up close and personal. \nLondon-born Baggy Trousers bring the songs and nutty spirit of early-80s Madness to life with an authentic\, high-energy live show. Come and re-live One Step Beyond\, Our House\, House of Fun\, My Girl\, The Prince\, It Must Be Love\, Baggy Trousers and many more\, alongside well- loved album tracks—all played live\, by Madness fans\, for Madness fans. \nWhether you’re counting down to Madness in March or simply fancy a night of the music you grew up with\, join a crowd who know the words and love these songs as much as you do. Our New Zealand audiences have always made us feel welcome\, and we can’t wait to do it all again. Round up your mates\, dust off your dancing boots and come and leave hot\, sweaty and happy. Who’s joining us? \nThis is Baggy Trousers\, a celebration of Madness. \nDOORS 8PM \nSUPERVISED (Under 18 year olds can attend with their parent)  \nTICKETS
