Ignite, the eight-week music industry specific training programme from Big Fan, is wrapping up for round one. The successful rangatahi involved in Ignite’s Event Management stream have been hard at work organising four gigs that will take place across April and and in NZ Music Month in May. Held at Big Fan’s purpose-built music venue, these gigs will each raise proceeds for a different charity.

Bloodstainedeyes will be hitting the stage with an epic line-up of alternative/punk tunes. With support from Stacked, Cootie Cuties and Slow Rage, this all-ages gig is going to be a good one. Raising money for The Mental Health Foundation, tickets will be $15 on the door or online.

For one night only, Big Fan will be transformed into an underground club.

Tickets available HERE from $20.
Sun May 7th, 2023: No Conformity: Late to Chelsea, Strategist Wang and Beachware
No Conformity is a youth-led and youth-focused event featuring local bands, all from varying genres. Late to Chelsea are a 4-piece-punk band who create distorted, rhythm heavy garage punk tracks. The 4 members of Strategist Wang blend elements of grunge, pop-punk, and the general absurdity of the teenage mind, and Beachware is an indie rock group, making tight indie tracks that juxtapose pop hooks with warm chords, and smooth summer rhythms. With a youth focus and all proceeds going to Gumboot Friday, this is an event you will not want to miss.
Tickets HERE!
The Ignite Programme is a nurturing and empowering programme for rangatahi with a passion for music and events and covers three streams: Event Management, Event Production and Music Production.
Ignite’s unique aim is to teach rangatahi not only creativity, but also complementary skills to support them on their journey in the business, while also exposing them to the incredible breadth of career pathways and opportunities that exist within it.
Available to rangatahi aged 15 – 18 in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, the first intake of Ignite provided one-on-one mentoring with experienced industry professionals, seminars and hands-on workshops, practical experience, venue tours, and the application of learned skills such as promoting and running a live event. A second intake for Ignite will launch later in the year.
