"Over
the last few years we've been teaming up with the CELERY PRODUCTIONS girls to
transform historic and unused venues for our A WEIRD NIGHT OUT series of
events. I'm beyond excited that we have been given the incredible opportunity
to bring our full sensory carnival vibes to Auckland's most legendary
venue." - Nick Dwyer (WEIRD TOGETHER)
When the well-loved ST JAMES THEATRE on Queen Street closed in 2007, it felt
like the end of an era for quality live entertainment in Auckland. For the last
eight years, its absence has weighed heavy. On Saturday the 2nd of May, the
recently renovated venue reopens its doors. On the night, it will play host to
loved annual Auckland Festival A WEIRD NIGHT OUT: presented by global club
music big band WEIRD TOGETHER, CELERY PRODUCTIONS, NZ MUSIC MONTH, SMIRNOFF
VODKA and PANDORA INTERNET RADIO.
“We are hugely excited
to have A WEIRD NIGHT OUT as one of the key events of NZ Music Month this year.
NZ Music Month is about celebrating our culture. What better place to do
this than at the cultural icon that is the ST JAMES THEATRE, with a line up of
exceptional local music from both established and emerging New Zealand acts.
It’s going to be an amazing way to kick off the Month.” -
Cath Andersen, Chief Executive, NZ Music Commission
A multi-zone celebration of meaningful live entertainment, arts, and our local
cultural diversity, A WEIRD NIGHT OUT will feature energetic performances and
DJ sets from a top-tier bill of contemporary New Zealand entertainers. The
line-up includes Weird Together (LIVE), P-Money, The Peacekeepers feat MC Tali,
RED BULL SOUND SELECT artists HIGH HØØPS, KAMANDI & RACE BANYON, as well as
THOMSTON, AZBO, and other SPECIAL GUESTS. "We've put together a line-up that is a mixture of
names whom the ST JAMES means a lot to, like P-MONEY, SAMBORA & P-DIGGS
from THE PEACEKEEPERS, and new talent who have yet to experience just how
magical it is, KAMANDI, RACE BANYON, and THOMSTON, who will be doing his first
ever live public performance on the night!" - Nick Dwyer
(WEIRD TOGETHER)
"The St James Theatre has been important for several generations, who all
have their own significant memories from the space. We look forward to
revisiting memory lane with them, while creating special memories for the new
generation, and continuing the theatre's legacy as a crucial home for live
entertainment in Auckland." - Steve Bielby, Principal Trustee, Auckland
Notable Properties Trust
