CubaDupa Street FestivalBorders Opening For Australian & New Zealand Acts
After being forced to play their own backyards over a year, Australian and New Zealand acts can now journey across the Tasman Sea to play.
Both governments lift border restrictions April 19. Not having to be in two-week quarantine in a hotel will save a six-piece indie band NZ$18,000 ($12,657) – something most would not be able to recoup from touring.
Promoters and venues agree that after enthusiastically supporting local acts only, an element of fatigue is creeping in.
“At this point, audiences do want some variety,” Live Nation NZ managing director Mark Kneebone told Stuff. “And while New Zealand acts will continue to perform and do really well, the chance to bring over Australian acts and bands is great for the industry.”

Press Release – Live Nation
New dates have been added to
Van Gogh Alive’s Wellington season due to popular demand, from Friday 29th – Sunday 31st January. The large-scale, indoor experience is in Wellington at TSB Arena, ahead of opening in Christchurch at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand on February 18th, then Auckland at Spark Arena on 14th April.
Presented by Grande Experiences, AKA Australia and Live Nation,
Van Gogh Alive is a multi-sensory experience to entertain the whole family. Van Gogh’s works have been displayed and enjoyed around the world for over a century – but never like this. Audiences will have the unique opportunity to fully experience Van Gogh’s artistry, and immerse themselves in his world.
Digital Nights, which ran in August among shipping containers at Odlins Plaza,
Van Gogh Alive – the most-visited multi-sensory exhibition in the world – is meant to be experienced indoors. The exhibition combines giant projections of van Gogh’s works with music, three-dimensional models, and almond blossom scent (in a nod to his group of paintings of the same name) to immerse audiences deep in the mind and life of the artist. “It’s about taking people’s breath away, as well as educating and inspiring . It’s that sense of wonder that will translate from age 3 through to 93,” Kneebone said.
