KEY POINTS:
Shihad will cap off one of the most successful years in the band's 20-year history with a show at the Coroglen Tavern on the Coromandel on December 28.
They will be joined by London-based Kiwis the Datsuns who have just released their fourth album, Head Stunts.
The two bands played a string of legendary shows together a few summers ago and this will be one not to miss.
Shihad, who also play a show on January 2 with Supergroove and Elemeno P at Lake Hawea, topped the charts this year with Beautiful Machine which won best album at the Tuis.
Also playing at Coroglen is Deja Voodoo who have just finished recording their fourth album so you will no doubt be subjected to songs from that too.
Tickets are on sale now from Ticketmaster.
Meanwhile, the line-up for world music festival Womad in New Plymouth from March 13-15, will be announced next week. Watch this space for the list of artists playing, as well as other major concerts happening in the New Year.
And lastly, experimental Canadian nutters Holy F*** play at 420 in Auckland on December 14 and at the San Francisco Bath House the night after.
