Music News - Katchafire to headline NZ street art festival in Kawerau
07 January 2014 - 0 Comments
Organisers of Street Legal Festival – the New Zealand street art festival – can now announce Kiwi roots reggae artists Katchafire as the headline act for the inaugural festival, due to get underway in just over a month.
Festival director Chris Jackson says: “with the addition of Katchafire, the festival is shaping up to be an awesome weekend of art, music and culture.”
The Street Legal Festival is set to run over Waitangi weekend, February 8-9, with Katchafire performing on Saturday 8 February. Established to be The New Zealand Street Art Festival, it will feature street artists from around New Zealand painting side-by-side, along with live bands, graffiti and street art 'bombing' of a bus, graffiti battles, food trucks, a festival radio station and more.
More than 20 artists are confirmed for the weekend, including local Bay of Plenty favourite Owen Dippie, Beck Wheeler, Cinzah Seekayem, Cracked Ink, Jonny4Higher (a.k.a. Pest5,) Mica Still, Wert159, PHAT1 and DIVA.
Taking place in Kawerau, the festival will merge the hugely popular street art scene with entertainment for all ages. Street Legal Festival organisers have made a conscious decision to hold a drug and alcohol free festival. “We want it to be about the artists, not anything else. That's why we've made the decision not to serve or allow the consumption of alcohol,” says Chris Jackson.
Tickets are currently on sale via the festival website for $39 each.
