Rob Joas (Love Shack | Sunday, January 29)
Love Shack is the ultimate 80’s party band featuring some of New Zealand’s finest and most experienced musicians. Relive those magical days when you danced the night away to your favorite 80’s tunes.
“I’ve played with Gardens Magic before, most recently in 2018 with another band, Hobnail.
“I have been in the audience many times, but the ones that stand out the most are the Waratahs, Sam Hunt, Darren Watson and The Smokeshop, and the Frank Burkitt Band.
“Always a great atmosphere, family friendly, always have groups with picnic blankets and food. Great night out. Free!
“It’s a pleasure to play in such a beautiful setting in front of such a large audience. I love playing with Love Shack and can’t wait to see how the audience reacts. Me It’s a nostalgia show that we’re not ashamed of, and the audience usually gets up off the stage and dances the first song.”
