Annual music festival Selwyn Sounds, which sold out in record time late last year, is almost upon us.
On March 7, a crowd of 8000 will pack the Lincoln Domain for a great day of music from a range of acts, headlined by international stars Ronan Keating and Tony Hadley – ex-Spandau Ballet.
Selwyn Sounds promoter, David Parlane, says all of the musicians and performers canโt wait to hit the stage. He adds that despite being sold out heโs are still getting inquiries about tickets.
โWeโve had a group who had bought VIP tickets to our corporate area contact us, and due to unforeseen circumstances they canโt make it so those tickets are now available. But thatโs it,โ he says. โEverything has been snapped up. Thereโs even a massive wait list for campervan and other vehicle parking spots. Itโs going to be an incredible day.โ
Crowd favourites Automatic 80โs will kick things off at 11am, followed by one of New Zealandโs most loved rock bands OpShop, then 80โs legends Mi Sex, followed by incredible icons of live Kiwi performance When the Catโs Away. The penultimate performer of the day is Tony Hadley (ex-Spandau Ballet) and just when you thought it couldnโt get any better – headliner and Irish superstar Ronan Keating brings it all home.
