Three new artists have been announced for the Gibbston concert, replacing those unable to travel to New Zealand.
Kiwi acts in The Jordan Luck Band, Stellar* and Hello Sailor will join Gin Wigmore and Dragon on stage later this month. All five will also play dates in Taupo and Whitianga.
Due to the changing situation in Australia, The Angels, Pseudo Echo and MI-SEX, are no longer able to come across to New Zealand, but are committed to performing at the Summer Concert Tour in future years.
Amanda Calvert, boss of promoters Greenstone Entertainment, says: "We send our best wishes to everyone in The Angels, Pseudo Echo and MI-SEX, along with their families at this difficult time and completely understand that their health, safety and wellbeing must take priority in these unprecedented times.
"As a country, we have all done an exceptional job. We are now in the unique position of being able to get together with family and friends and enjoy the incredible lineup of artists in three of New Zealand’s most popular holiday locations, Queenstown, Taupo and Whitianga."
"2020 has been a very challenging year for all of us and to some extent it has been a “wait and see” approach. Today we are delighted to confirm that the ... Summer Concert Tour is going ahead as planned with the addition of The Jordan Luck Band, Stellar* and Hello Sailor."
Up to 18,000 fans are set to attend the popular concert at Gibbston Valley Winery, on Saturday, January 23.
