The Rock Fest 2016 is a mini rock festival, held at the Totara Street venue, Mount Maunganui, Saturday 26th November.

It is a rock music event to help promote & support local rock bands in the area as well as bring in bands from out of town, thus ultimately building the rock music scene in the region and throughout New Zealand. It is more than just a big rock concert; we will have a couple of celebrity guest speakers (Chris Yong - ex TadPole, and Kingsley Smith - Knightshade) getting up briefly to welcome everyone and chat about the rock industry. Also, music videos of each band will be projected onto a big screen in between sets, and a merch / CD stand will be on display.

It is a non-commercial community based event, with profits going to the Bay of Plenty / Waikato Cancer Society.

There will be 6 bands playing over a 6 hour period, taking place on Saturday 26th November, for the bargain value of only $10. (includes booking fee, at http://www.eventfinda.co.nz/). Doors open: 6pm

The bands include:

Primacy

Midnight Switch

8 Steps to Madness

The Carradines

Liberated Squid

Metaract - featuring: Chris Yong (Tadpole, Redline, Static Era) & Sharne Scarborough (Just One Fix, After Forever)
