Go Live Festival 2026 – Lineup Announced
Now firmly established as a cornerstone event on the Christchurch cultural calendar, Go Live Festival brings generations of fans together under one roof for a unique celebration of live music.
This year’s lineup blends chart-topping acts that helped define the sound of the 90’s and 2000’s with cult favourites from the alt-rock underground, alongside exciting new voices shaping the future of the local scene.
OpShop will headline the festival armed with a catalogue that defined a generation of Kiwi pop-rock, with multiple platinum albums and massive national hits like Maybe and One Day.
They’re joined by Push Push, one of the defining breakout bands of the early 90’s, whose era-shaping chart-topping smash Trippin’ helped cement their place in New Zealand music history.
Also on the bill is Pluto, the alt-rock legends behind enduring Kiwi classics like Long White Cross and Dance Stamina.
Representing the new wave are rising indie-pop outfit There’s A Tuesday and powerhouse rockers Volts.
Joining them will be noise art outfit Into the Void, The Boondocks, Caitlin, The Eastern and more.
Expect nostalgia, sing-along anthems, some heavy guitars, and fresh discoveries across four stages, showcasing both local and national artists.
