Lōemis Festival returns this June for its eleventh year, with its most ambitious programme yet — bringing together artists from Aotearoa and around the world.

Highlights include Shayne Carter performing his new album REforms with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra for the first time. New York indie act Chanel Beads, and Troy Kingi, showcasing his new hip hop album Night Lords.

Plus bespoke food events, workshops, an immersive night market, and a large-scale outdoor procession.

Happy Fridays continues June 12 with Benny & Shush behind the decks.

Expect deep grooves, garage, house and the kind of energy that keeps the courtyard moving all night long.

From festival stages to late-night club sets, these two know exactly how to build a Friday properly.

Settle in early for dinner, stay late for the dancefloor.

FREE 12.06.26 | From 7PM Happy Hour 9PM-11PM Cuba St Tavern.

Join us at the Wētā Cave in Wellington for an exclusive book signing with the legendary Greg Broadmore.

Book Two of the epic One Path saga has arrived — and it's brutal, breathtaking and unmissable.

In a savage prehistoric world, One Path flees her tribe with a cursed infant, hunted across endless forests and mountains by her own sister's war-band — and something far older and far worse: the White King, an ancient T-Rex rising from hibernation with one purpose.

Be in to win a signed book and print! Books also available for sale in-store.

Saturday 13 June, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm, Wētā Cave, Wellington

Join us for a winter Bike Rave along Te Ara Tupua - the new bike path - as we roll from Pito-one back into the city in a glorious movement of lights, good tunes, rave-adjacent outfits and weird wheeled creations.

The Wētā Cave is turning 18!
