Six60 & I Am Giant – Presales Monday 6 December 9am – 5pm
SUMMER MASH UP
Saturday, 8 January 2011
Coroglen Tavern
Whitianga, NZ
Two of New Zealand’s hot new bands are teaming up for one night only at the Coroglen Tavern on January 8th 2011.
And why would a roots/dub/d@b band be doing with a gig a rock band? Well, why not?
Over summer Six60 are performing at all the major festivals but this will be their only non-festival gig.
I Am Giant have been racking up the airpoints with around the world trips this year. Based in London, this will be their third time to New Zealand and on their way they have toured Asia and Australia twice, and performed gigs in London, France and America.
This presale is available from 9am, Monday 6 December until 5pm, Monday 6 December 2010. Please note that tickets are strictly subject to availability.

Carlos Santana Returns to NZ for Auckland and Christchurch Shows
Carlos Santana, one of the greatest musicians and legendary guitarists of our generation is set to ignite New Zealand shores. Toting a style that defies definition, immediately recognizable yet unlike any other, Santana’s fusion of Latin rock, blues, soul and jazz comes in full swing on stage in a way that transcends time and the limits of genre typecasting.
The Guitar Heaven Tour comes to New Zealand for shows at Vector Arena in Auckland on Sunday 20th March and Christchurch’s CBS Canterbury Arena on Tuesday 22nd March.
There are few artists of this caliber, and fewer opportunities to see them live. Do not miss the chance to see one of the most enduring guitar legends in March 2011.
