Waitangi Park will be restricted until Thursday 23, as will Frank Kitts Park. Wellington City Council will put traffic management in place for the event during the evening - and although access to the Wellington Waterfront will be available to the general public some areas will be restricted solely for contractors and/or ticket holders. “This will be huge for some of the younger, newer bands to get to play in front of so many people.” “Just before Covid came along we had been going a lot of shows and didn’t realise until the C-word how important it is for us to play in front of people, we’ve been cooped up in the studio recording which is great but it’s really good to be out in front of people performing.”Īs for acts he was looking forward to, Gee said he was pumped as always to see an old favourite Shihad – but was excited to see some new up-and-comers as well. Gee said he can’t wait to get up and play for a live audience again. “It’s the thing we look forward to the most on the musical calendar – we’ve been playing there for about 13 years – we’ve done all but one of them.”
