What are you doing tomorrow to celebrate the launch of NZ Music Month 2010?

Being the tenth, we are kicking off on Saturday 1 May with ten shows across the nation – in fact, one of them is actually ten gigs across the country in its own right!

From diva-licious soul to eight-piece barbershop performances of classic kiwi pop, talking great records in Welly to Christchurch young punks taking over Britomart, the kids being all right in Queenstown to metal so heavy it’ll make you wish you had postponed that haircut another week … there are over fifty gigs we know about across the country tomorrow, and no reason not to get out there and get amongst it!
