Rock the Bowl | Monday 29 December 2025
Rock the Bowl is back for its third and biggest edition yet.
Leading the charge is L.A.B, Aotearoa’s chart-topping sensation known for their soulful blend of funk, reggae, and rock; perfect for a summer night under the stars.
Joining them are UK hitmakers Rudimental, bringing their infectious energy and global anthems that will have you dancing from the first beat. Adding a dose of nostalgia, Supergroove returns with their iconic grooves, teaming up with Troy Kingi, Rubi Du, and King Kapisi for a rare collaboration that promises to be unforgettable.
And to top it all off, the incomparable Hollie Smith will deliver her powerful, soulful vocals that have become a soundtrack to Kiwi summers.
Kingston Calling | Saturday 14 February 2026
Valentine’s Day at the Bowl? Yes, please. Kingston Calling is your chance to experience the smooth, sun-soaked sounds of reggae in one of New Zealand’s most iconic venues.
At the heart of the lineup is the unmistakable voice of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, bringing timeless hits like Red Red Wine and Kingston Town — songs that have soundtracked summers for decades. It’s the kind of music that makes you slow down, smile, and sing along.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Joining UB40 are Kiwi favourites Katchafire, The Black Seeds, and Corrella, each bringing their own flavour of roots, reggae, and good vibes.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of Taranaki’s biggest summer celebrations.
