For a show-stopping festival finale, look no further than the super-fly sound of BIG HORNS, live and out of sight. It has also been announced that Aotearoa music icon Troy Kingi and powerhouse soul singer Deva Mahal will take the mic for this mega-concert!

A trailblazing modern-day brass band, this homegrown funk unit is also a veritable party machine, serving up reimagined dancefloor hits from Prince, Beyoncé, Dr. Dre, De La Soul, Kool & the Gang, Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind & Fire, and more. You won’t be able to stop moving to these dirty grooves all night long — trumpeted loud and proud with zero backing tracks and 100% BIG energy. 

Strut in, look sharp, BIG HORNS — all swagger.
