Rotorua is set to get a host of international and national performers over the next few months, and one promoter is in talks to bring some big R&B; stars to the city as well.
From next week, the next couple of months will be a busy one on the city's music entertainment calendar.
New Zealand's Got Talent finalists J Geeks are hitting Rotorua as part of their Tu Meke Tour on Tuesday, before a big weekend of music in the city. On February 23 - the weekend of Te Matatini 2013 - there will be three music options for those in Rotorua. Ministry of Sound's General Lee will be at Heaven and Hell and there will also be two other shows - a concert called Uprising, featuring DJ Sir-Vere, Ardijah and 1818 at Arawa Park; and a Renee Geyer gig supported by top Kiwi performers at the Rotorua Civic Theatre.
Geyer, an Australian singer whose hits include It Only Happens, Heading In The Right Direction and Say I Love You, will perform at the Rotorua Civic Theatre, also on February 23, as part of her Say I Love You NZ 2013 tour. She will have a supporting line-up including Maisey Rika, Adeaze, Three Houses Down, New Zealand's Got Talent finalist Tawaroa Kawana and more.
In March and April, international reggae artist Spawnbreezie, Australian-based hip hop artist Fortafy, Kiwi artists Sons of Zion and DJs CXL and Deach will be performing at Rotorua's Heaven and Hell nightclub.
