For the first time in New Zealand’s rich musical history, some of the best local, national and international rock & metal acts will come together to celebrate New Year  2012 at NZ’s newest and heaviest festival – Beyond the Black.

On Saturday 31st December 2011 through until New Years Day 2012, rock & metal fans alike are to unite at Trentham Racecourse, Upper Hutt, Wellington to rock into 2012, with the aid of 13 bands and 13 hours of solid rock & metal. Tickets start from just $30 and will be on sale at http://www.1-night.co.nz/ from Monday 1st of August.
Beyond the Black has been specifically crafted to unite rock & metal fans in one place, for one night only. It’s the first of its kind in the whole of New Zealand. Beyond the Black founders Tamara Buckland and Jenny George have been shown encouragement and support from huge industry names such as “The Axeman” Paul Martin, who has expressed his keen support, “After a drought of metal new years eve festivals longer than living memory, it’s awesome that finally there will be a kick ass New Years Eve Festival catered to the rock and metal fraternity!”

Co-founder Tamara Buckland says, “We want to bring together rock & metal fans from all over New Zealand and with the help of incredible bands and the support from influential people in the business we aim to achieve this. It’s the start of something big!”. The festival also promises to bring people from all over the country to Upper Hutt, something which co-founder Jenny George is encouraging, “I’m very excited at the prospect of supporting my local community in Upper Hutt and bringing some amazing music into the area.”

Further details to follow, so watch this Black space, there’s something huge Beyond!
