New Zealand Music Showcase Expands Into Brisbane

The Natural NZ Music Festival, a showcase of some of the best New Zealand artists to Aus audiences, has confirmed its expansion into Brisbane.

The event, which for the last four years has taken place in Perth, will now also be held in the Queensland capital at the Riverstage venue, with artists such as rock stalwarts Shapeshifter, genre-bending reggae troupe The Black Seeds and Kiwi legend Dave Dobbyn confirmed for the event.

The festival's director Brian Terry said that Brisbane was a logical next move for the event, saying it "just makes sense."

"When we were thinking of a Queensland venue, Riverstage was the only option- it’s iconic, very central and only a walk away from two train stations," said Terry.

Natural NZ Music Festival will take place at the Riverstage on Saturday 22 November and then in Perth on Saturday 29 November, with tickets on sale now. Head to theGuide and The Music App for more info.

And here's the full line-up:

Shapeshifter, Dave Dobbyn, The Black Seeds, House Of Shem, Sons Of Zion, Scribe, P-Money, Anika Moa
