A Queenstown music promoter says it’s costing him thousands of dollars extra to relocate a big-name DJ.
Bryce Wrigley had been due to put on Andy C (pictured) — rated the world’s best drum and bass DJ over the past 11 years — at the resort’s biggest live music venue, Loco, on March 14.
Loco, however, fell victim to Covid and shut its doors last weekend.
Andy C’s now playing that date at council-owned Queenstown Memorial Centre.
‘‘There’s really no venues in town that are already licensed for us to use that are big enough without going through the whole process of renting the [Memorial Centre] through council and doing all the licensing and that sort of stuff,’’ Wrigley says.
