Northlanders love their music and their fritters - so there’ll be widespread relief when the Northland Fritter Festival returns this weekend after a three-year Covid-enforced break.
Fritter Festival features some of Northland’s finest music, food, wine and beer and is expected to attract thousands to Semenoff Stadium in Whangārei on Saturday. The gates open at noon.
The festival is headlined by Coterie, a five-piece Kiwi/Australian band spearheaded by four Māori brothers of Te Aupouri, Ngāpuhi and Ngāi Te Rangi heritage living on the coastline of West Australia. The band is rapidly building a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts on both sides of the Tasman.
Other live music will come from Otium, Summer Thieves, Strangely Arousing, RSB 2.0, Tempist Fijut and Caged!.
