Six60 Saturdays back for nation-wide tour

Six60 CD (2019)

-

Six60 are set to embark on their biggest tour yet this summer when the juggernaut that is Six60 Saturdays returns, and it will be music to the ears of their fans desperate for live shows.

The band became the first Kiwi group in history to sell out not one but two shows at Western Springs and headline a show at Auckland’s Eden Park, and they’re returning to Eden Park on Saturday, April 9 for another round. But that’s not all that makes their March/April 2022 tour huge.

It will be New Zealand’s firstever all-stadium national tour — yet another significan­t achievemen­t for the band who formed during their university flatting days in Dunedin.

For the first time ever, Six60 Saturdays will come to Rotorua on Saturday, March 5 with the first show of the tour being played at Rotorua Internatio­nal Stadium.

This will be a monumental occasion for the region with fans from all over the Waikato and beyond expected to attend.

And on Saturday, April 2, Six60 are set to pave the way yet again as the first ever live concert at Napier’s MaClean Park.

To mark these auspicious occasions, we’re giving you the chance to win one of two copies of their epic release Six60 (2019) that has produced such stand out numbers as The Greatest, Please Don’t Go, Long Gone, Sundown, Raining and Never Enough among its 10 stellar tracks.

They sit comfortabl­y alongside earlier Six60 fare which includes hits and fan favourites such as Vibes, Special, So High, Rolling Stone, Only To Be, Rivers, White Lines, Forever, Don’t Give It Up, Don’t Forget Your

Roots, All She Wrote and the heart-warming bi-lingual release — Pepeha — (which reached No.2 on the charts) to name but a few.

The promoters have advised that the concerts are a rain or shine event and, in keeping with the ever-changing Covid-19 situation, have endeavoure­d to plan for all possibilit­ies and have Covid reserve dates waiting in the wings should they be required.

They ask patrons to please ensure when purchasing tickets that they can attend all of the reserve dates should the concerts need to be postponed due to changes in New Zealand’s Covid-19 situation.

No refunds will be given for attendees or ticket holders that are unwilling or unable to comply with NZ Government requiremen­ts, including any requiremen­t to be vaccinated against Covid-19, unless required by applicable law.
