Gig & Concert News - Flying Nun Announce Wellington 40th Anniversary Show

Flying Nun Announce Wellington 40th Anniversary Show

17 June 2021 - 0 Comments

2021 marks the 40th birthday and anniversary of Flying Nun Records.

From the first 1981 releases of the Pin Group Ambivalence and The Clean’s Tally Ho!, through to the last decade of releases from new artists - including Aldous Harding, Reb Fountain, Wax Chattels, Fazerdaze, Mermaidens and others - the Nun has been lucky enough to hitch it’s wagon to more than its fair share of formidably good left-of-centre local independent artists for 40 years.

Thanks primarily to all these exceptional artists and their music, we made it to 40. So, it only seems fitting to have some big parties.

While the hazy details of the previous anniversary celebrations remain murky (the 10th, 15th, 21st and 30th), we assume they must have been good. The surviving event posters and photographs indicate monumental musical celebrations.

We intend to continue this birthday tradition with a monster extravaganza in Wellington at the Michael Fowler Centre - two stages, a mix of established artists, new artists, and plenty in-between - a record store and all kinds of other stuff.

Inevitably, we’re biting off more than we can chew. But we know it will be worth it in the end. We hope you will join us for a line-up that includes the following;

Aldous Harding (solo)
The Chills
Reb Fountain
The Bats
The Subliminals
Voom
Superette
Purple Pilgrims

Saturday 7th of August – The Michael Fowler Centre – Wellington

Two Stages, Record Shop and more fun stuff.

TICKETS AVAILABLE FROM THURSDAY 24th OF JUNE AT TICKETMASTER

The Wellington event will complement the already announced Auckland show happening in 24th July at the Auckland Town Hall. Tickets to this event are selling fast.
