Auckland anniversary weekend is going to be a busy one on the music front with the Laneway Festival on the Monday and new eco festival happening on the Sunday.
The Tuborg Summer Sunday Festival - which doubles as a coastal cleanup - will be held at Matakana Music Mountain (45 minutes or so north of Auckland) with a line-up that includes Fly My Pretties, Kora, The Nudge, Little Bushman, Tahuna Breaks, Electric Wire Hustle, A Hori Buzz and @Peace. Tickets are on sale at 1-night.co.nz.
Meanwhile, chart-topping reggae drum 'n' bass rock act Six60 have announced the first dates of their tour starting in November in support of their debut album, released in October.
Rather than a traditional album release tour, the band have decided to tour the album throughout New Zealand - and Australia - over the next year and plan to play as many places as possible.
The first run of dates includes a show at Auckland's Powerstation on November 11. For tickets and a full list of tour dates, see six60.co.nz and ticketmaster.co.nz.
