HEAVYWEIGHT HERTZ
FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER

This September 11th, prepare for an absolute takeover at the Wunderbar as five heavyweights tear the roof off with a night of Drum & Bass and Jungle.

Dj Mömentö sets the vibe early with lush, soaring melodic soundscapes before CJ cranks up the temperature with raw, old-school underground jungle beats.

Qwonq then shifts gears, dropping his own high-energy signature DnB blend, passing the torch to Geck to keep the dancefloor rolling with a unique, custom flavour of jungle.

Finally, Shredder takes control to close out the night with heavy-hitting, floor-shattering Jump Up.

These guys are all making an appearance from the local underground scene, so help us keep it rolling!

Doors 8pm | Starts 8:30pm
Tickets $10 via link in bio.

This is the most staked lineup I’ve ever arranged for an event; this one is gonna be a GREAT night featuring many different genres and styles. See all the acts below…

LEWIS PARKE - Lewis Parke is an indie alt pop act with a bite, blending new wave influence with a modern indie sound. Living in the dark, the mysterious, the unsaid words that lay in between a conversation.

THE LINDY LOUNGE!
SATURDAY 22 AUGUST

Get ready to swing, groove, and lose yourself at the Lindy Lounge. We have assembled a night packed with some of Christchurch's best jazz, improvisational energy, and infectious rhythm, featuring three incredible acts.

THE QUARTERNOTE POUNDERS bring smooth, effortless swing to life with a soulful trombone out front and a tight rhythm section of piano, bass, and drums. Expect bouncing, breezy tunes, sly solo trades, and classics like Pennies From Heaven, After You’ve Gone, and Take The A Train.

Taking the stage alongside them is NOISE SECTION, Lyttelton’s own freestyle jazz fusion innovators. Formed by musicians who studied jazz and sound engineering together at university, this crew improvises every single set live on the spot. They deliver a bold, experimental sonic experience that will never be played the same way twice.

Rounding out the night is THE SMJ QUARTET, bringing deep experience and effortless cool to the lineup. These seasoned veterans have been playing for a long time, bringing a refined, masterclass performance that grounds the evening in pure craft.

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, so get ready for a night bands this good shouldn't be missed. Grab your friends and step into Wunderbar's Lindy Lounge!

HANNE JØSTENSEN - THE LIGHTHOUSE WINTER TOUR
THURSDAY 13 AUGUST

Wellington singer-songwriter Hanne Jøstensen’s delicate and stirring songs carry the sort of intimacy you find in a good friendship. Her intricate second EP ‘The Lighthouse’, released in autumn 2026, reached #10 on the Aotearoa Album Chart and spent three weeks in the top 20.

Hanne's music navigates her unique upbringing on a tiny Norwegian island (where her grandfather was a lighthouse keeper), woven into modern day life on the wild south coast of Aotearoa.

“It carries a sense of stillness balanced with emotional depth, creating space for the listener without demanding attention.” Viddhi Panchal, NZ Musician.

“The Lighthouse is a thoughtfully and gracefully composed EP, with moments of breathtaking beauty.” Peter K Malthus, MuzicNZ.

This Lyttelton concert will be a solo performance where you'll experience the songs the way they were composed, on keyboard and voice. Hanne will also perform songs from her debut EP 'Watch over me', sprinkled with the occasional cover by artists that have had a significant influence on her songwriting.

There will be a break between the two sets so you can top up your glass, socialise, and buy/order some merch!

Bring your lighthouse stories and come be part of this special evening at this iconic Lyttelton venue.

Welcome!
