Here’s some important event info 👇👇

Are you coming to SIX60 tonight at the Trafalgar Centre? If so, here is some important information;

Doors open - 7pm
Makayla (support act) - 7.30pm
Six60 - 8.30pm

There is limited car parking at the Trafalgar Centre for a show of this size so consider ride sharing or public transport. If the car park is full, there is additional car parking at Montgomery or Wakatu Car Parks which are walking distances from the venue.

Due to liquor licensing requirments we have had to split the venue into two sections. The floor area which is the standing space in front of the stage is R18. There will be an alcohol free area at the back of the floor that includes a large seating unit and dancing space for anyone under 18.

We will have water stations around the venue so please bring an empty water bottle that can be filled at our water stations.

We look forward to seeing you all at the show tonight!

Can totally understand this and why they have made this decision!

Running festivals is HARD WORK 🤨 and financially such a huge risk for the owners of the festival.

If we don’t sell enough tickets, or get enough sponsorship/funding, or get income from other revenue streams, or it’s bad weather…then paying the suppliers and contractors and bands and alllll the things… come directly from us personally. And forget about paying yourself a wage, that’s way at the bottom of the list. 😆

"We didn't sell as many tickets as we would've liked," Producer Fryderyk Kublikowski says.
