Amanda Palmer is a singer, songwriter, playwright, pianist, author, director, and blogger who simultaneously embraces and explodes traditional frameworks of music, theatre, and art. She first came to prominence as part of the punk cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls, earning global applause for their inventive songcraft and wide-ranging theatricality.
Palmer, who spent over two years waylaid in Aotearoa, New Zealand with her young son during the pandemic, will honor her time as an accidental Kiwi with New Zealand Survival Songs, a brand-new five-song EP collecting material written and recorded during that life-changing experience.
With support from special guests Julia Deans & Aurelia Torkington.

A performance revue like you'll never get in an office tower! This cheeky number takes on the ridiculous and objectionable in the modern workplace in the form of the blues, rap, latin plainchant and more to see what meets expectations and what needs improvement.
For the first time, iconic New Zealand band stellar* will perform their Mix album in its entirety, to celebrate the chart-topping album’s 25th anniversary. Stellar* will also perform fan favourites and hits from their other albums Magic Line and Something Like Strangers, as well as a surprise or two.
