It’s Taupo Summer Concert time!

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Greenstone Entertainment has again delivered a top quality line-up for this year's sell-out tour with Colin Hay of Men at Work fame, Alanis Morrissette, and The Orchestra starring former members of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) as the headline acts.

Just when three main acts seemed more than enough, organisers confirmed the addition of a fourth act, Fairground Saints who hail from Nashville. Their California country sound will bring another dimension to the event.

Taupo District Council's District Events Manager Steve Giles says this year's event is gearing up to be one of the best yet.

"Taupo Summer Concert has become an iconic event bringing so many welcome visitors into our district each year. It's fantastic we have a sold-out event this year for the second year running and we look forward to hosting everyone for the 2018 edition."

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To help ensure people's safety there are some road closures and bus route changes, leading up to and during the concert.
