Go Live Festival: Tickets Now On Sale
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.
Last year’s Go Live Festival sold out, so it’s well worth grabbing tickets ASAP. They’re available from Ticketmaster at 10am on Wednesday 18th March.
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 packed full of Kiwi pop-rock gems, 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 legendary noise art outfit Into the Void, alongside The Boondocks, Caitlin, The Eastern and more.
Expect nostalgia, sing-along anthems, and fresh discoveries across four stages, showcasing Ōtautahi Christchurch artists alongside performers from around New Zealand.
