Collins Street Festival

Napier's inaugural Collins Street Festival is set to hit Ahuriri, one of Hawke’s Bay's coolest little suburbs, on Saturday 30 November. 

The street will be alive with music from 1pm to 10pm, featuring a stacked lineup of both local talent and headliners - the award-winning Auckland based rock-and-roll legends, Racing. This three-piece band crafts a swirling sea of groove and hypnosis into rock anthems drenched in tropical dance music. Releasing their debut album 'Real Dancing' in 2019, Racing were subsequently nominated for Best Rock Artist at the 2019 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. Singles ‘Motel Pool’, ‘Run Wild’ and ‘Party Slow’ all reached number one on the rock music charts.

Joining the lineup are Aotearoa’s favourite covers band - White Chapel Jak. Bursting with light and energy, Bonnie and the band command attention every time they hit the stage. Their take on some absolute classics make the night one to remember. In support the local talent on this lineup includes Deep Fried Funk, House of Beats, Miakie, Scarlett Eden, Snead Place, Sneeky and SS61.
