CHART is pleased to announce another action packed program this year for our annual music festival CHARTFEST.

The festival this year will run throughout May during NZ Music Month, at a selection of venues across the city.

CHARTFEST 2013 will feature a diverse collection of musicians and cover a range of genres from folk and dub right through to pop and metal. The festival aims to offer a series of top quality events showcasing some of the amazing talent we have in our city at present.

Part of this year’s program will include super group AHoriBuzz playing at the Bedford, a youth concert at Zebedees, and a recording studio open day featuring three of the city’s newest recording facilities.

All CHARTFEST events this year will have free admission* and capacity for some shows will be limited so we recommend arriving early.
