What an incredible journey it’s been on the Chatham Islands! 🎶 Our intimate garden-style concerts have been met with overwhelming support, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing artists and attendees who’ve made it all possible. From iconic NZ performers like Tiki Taane, Hello Sailor, The Lady Killers, and Black Robin, our events have truly brought the community together in the most magical settings. 🌟
Now, the success of these unforgettable concerts has inspired us to take Concert in the Garden on the road! 🌍 Starting in 2026, we’re expanding to select regional locations across mainland New Zealand, bringing the magic of intimate, world-class performances to even more beautiful outdoor spaces.
As we expand, the following locations and concert themes are currently in development:
- Whanganui – Opera in the Garden (Arias & classical opera)
- Wanaka – Turn Up the Jukebox (1950s rock ‘n’ roll with a best-dressed contest)
- Marlborough – Kiwi Classics Unplugged (NZ icons in a garden-style setting)
Each location will focus on a specific genre or theme, creating a strong regional identity and building excitement for annual returns. 🌟
With a focus on community, each event will host between 500-1,000 attendees in gorgeous garden venues, complemented by local food vendors, exclusive Maude Wines, and a mix of surprise performers who will blow you away! 🎤🍇
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported and attended our events so far — your presence has made this dream a reality. And to our wonderful sponsors, Air Chathams and Central Otago Maude Wines, we appreciate you making these concerts a true success.
Stay tuned, as we can’t wait to share more about upcoming concerts and the exciting performers we have lined up!
