Hosted by Joyful Revolution: In support of Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA) and Climate Liberation Aotearoa (CLA).

This night we come together in joy and solidarity. Recognising that we are all fighting the same fight and that joy is the fuel for the revolution.

We will start the night with poetry and storytelling, followed by live performances from 3 incredible acts. With different flavours of music to suit a wide range of tastes, we will build the energy together through the night finishing with a 10 piece Samba band, Tupinikeen!

At this event we understand that change starts in the underground and from grass roots communities. We recognise that to bring this change we need to work together within and between our communities. Understanding the intersectionality of all our struggles. This event hopes to be a small step in that direction.

100% of proceeds go to the community organisations (PSNA and CLA), Joyful revolution will keep zero.

𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐬:

𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐱 (𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 / 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦) - Blockade Folk Punk
Crusty was born in Aotearoa but has spent much of the last decade traveling around so-called Australia. Resisting alongside communities fighting for climate, environmental & First Nation's justice, making videos, films & music along the way.
Hates cops, loves community led resistance, and lampooning shit companies. Their lyrics reflect as much.

𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐝
Forged and brought to fruition in Mangaroa Valley, from the depths of Upper Hutt two brothers have found inspiration in Ōtautahi to create some tasty sonic juice alongside the most groovy saxophonist, Felix Harrison, under the name Sound Salad. Through a host of protest songs and dance floor grooves expect dub bass lines and rhythms, melty guitar licks, lush keys and a comfort in the unknown with these genre bending bros.

𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛
This 10-piece samba band is Ōtautahi’s first traditional samba group, bringing Brazil’s vibrant rhythms to Christchurch with authentic instruments like pandeiro, tamborim and cavaquinho, fostering community, culture and celebration. They know how to bring a vibe and get you moving those hips!!
