Ed Sheeran
8 March
Ed Sheeran's hits include the ARIA 3 x Platinum
singles 'Lego House', 'The A Team' and new
favourite 'Drunk'.
Sheeran began his career by creating and selling
independent EPs at the age of fifteen. By 2009
he was performing more than 300 shows a year
in Great Britain and had developed a huge and
dedicated online following.
Sheeran's much documented meteoric rise
to success is testament to the performer's
incredible talent and charisma; both of which
are showcased in a live performance by the
talented Brit.

Pasifika Festival 2013

Pacific heritage. In 2013, not only will the event

village programmes, stalls and look and feel of
each village will be vastly different.

Neil Young with Crazy Horse
19 March
There have been a few whispers lately… the words 'Neil Young' and 'Crazy
Horse', have been coupled tantalising with the word 'tour'. In-the-know fans
have seen news about shows overseas and waited with growing anticipation
for the official word.
The show promises to showcase both new material from their recently
released album 'Psychedelic Pill' (out now through Warner) and the classic
hits that helped make Neil Young a household name. Without a doubt
the critical acclaim surrounding the tour dates so far illustrates just how
Neil Young continues to pull massive crowds five decades into his
impressive career.
