HEKA & The Honey Robots Co-Headline a Huge Night of Noise-Rock at The Crown Hotel

Dunedin music stalwarts HEKA and The Honey Robots are teaming up to co-headline an unmissable night at The Crown Hotel on Thursday, October 8, 2026.

The night marks an extra-special milestone for HEKA, breaking a three-year live hiatus to celebrate the joint birthday of founding frontman Stephen Kilroy and bassist Tenzin Mullin. Known for their heavy, kraut-inflected psych-rock and atmospheric sonics, HEKA bring their signature wall of sound back to the stage alongside the infectious energy of The Honey Robots, who pair sweet vocal melodies with dirty, driving rock rhythms.

Heka: Stephen Kilroy (guitars and vox), Heath Te Au (drums), Craig Monk (guitar), and Tenzin Mullin Bass.

The Honey Robots: Melita Johnston (guitars and vox), Bruce Hannan (bass), and Alan Haig (drums).
