The Others Way Festival returns this Saturday to take over Tāmaki Makaurau's Karangahape Road district, with 30 acts scheduled to perform across 8 stages.
Today, the festival adds Aotearoa songwriter Finn Andrews (The Veils) performing a special solo set, and Auckland's psychedelic jazz gang Carnivorous Plant Society. Unfortunately, the previously announced Maxine Funke and LEAO are no longer able to perform.
Earlier this week, the festival revealed its hotly anticipated timetable, and an exciting new outdoor stage on Galatos St.
