The
Mermaidens Soft Energy philosophy clearly gets shit done, as the Merms have wrapped up a wildly successful Mermgrown Festival Pōneke, are embarking on an Aotearoa-wide tour this week, and have just announced the second wave of acts for
Mermgrown Auckland. Topping up the already dazzling lineup are locally grown talents
Louisa Nicklin,
Ez Ra, and Pōneke creator
Samara Alofa, with even more bands to be revealed next week. The festival is on Saturday the 20th of March and is the only way you can say you attended the very first Tāmaki Mermgrown, and a second chance for you dummies who slept on the Wellington edition when it blew minds last month.

Voom,

DJ Party Dad knock your socks off with pumpin , jumpin club tunes. The best part? This is all FREE! Rock on up in your best summer fits and just cruise on through (ahem, before the venues reach capacity) thanks to everyone s new best friends from
