Pop sensation Stan Walker will take the stage in Hastings tonight and last-minute tickets are heading out the door fast.
Hawke's Bay Opera House will come alive with fans young and old from 8pm, flocking to see the Inventing Myself singer, who is leaving a trail of positive reviews as he tours the length and breadth of the country.
Ticketing supervisor and marketing manager Kate MacKenzie says excitement is building, with people rushing to secure their seats.
"We have not sold out yet, but we hope to," she says. "It's good that it's the holidays so the whole family can come."
Walker has fond memories of the region after headlining a new Easter event while in New Zealand as a judge on The X Factor.
