Shihad have been moved from the Sunday night to the now Saturday-only Bay of Islands Music Festival next week.
Rockers and ravers will be sharing the field with soulsters and skankers when a reduced Bay of Islands Music Festival moves from a two-day event to a one-dayer next week.
The Bay of Islands Music Festival was originally planned as two-day festival on January 25 and 26 - Anniversary
Weekend - at Waitangi, with the Saturday the roots reggae and soul day and Sunday filled with rock acts. There's a mix of top international and NZ acts.
Festival organiser Jackie Sanders, of Jacman Entertainment, said after two previous sold out Bay of Islands festival it was clear that the Sunday was not going to sell out so a decision had to be made to condense eh event into one day.
"Being Northland, the reggae on Saturday was going great, but the rock on the Sunday was not going as well at all. I've had such good sellouts at previous festivals, and they've been such fantastic events, I didn't want to risk the Sunday not selling out as well, so thought a one day event would work better," Sanders said.
"It's going to be a great day with a great variety of music, with something for everybody really."
