Clash of the Titans is back for the third year running with three of the biggest names in Australasian music set to hit the stage this January.
Dragon, Mi-Sex and The Feelers will go head to head on the eight-day tour that criss-crosses both islands before ending with a final showdown at Black Barn Vineyards in Havelock North on Saturday, January 7.
Dragon bass player and vocalist Todd Hunter said he was looking forward to returning to Hawke's Bay to play in Black Barn's vines after performing there last year.
"I love that place. It's got a great feel to it. An added bonus is that New Zealand crowds sing incredibly well and strongly. I do remember the few gigs we have played there were extraordinary, the crowds were very melodious," he said.
Dragon's tracks have become somewhat synonymous with Kiwi summers - April Sun in Cuba, Rain, Are You Old Enough and Still In Love With You are just some of the classics up the band's sleeve.
