Fresh from their recent nod as finalists for Best Rock Act at the Aotearoa Music Awards, Midwave Breaks are stoked to announce a special hometown show at Totara Street, Mount Maunganui, on Saturday July 13.

The AMA finalist recognition is a fitting testament to the band’s creative impact across the NZ rock music landscape. With the release of their recent 3-track EP Standing Inside Out, and the honour of sharing the stage with international heavyweights Incubus and live on their April NZ Arena Tour, 2024 is shaping up to be another busy year for the Tauranga alt-rock duo.

The headline Totara Street show marks the band’s first hometown performance in over a year. Singer-guitarist Bruce Conlon, and drummer Paul Russell have always been strong supporters of local talent, and this show is no exception. The opening act will be rising stars from Otumoetai High School, Bloody Overalls. This 3-piece heavy psych punk band promises a raw and improvisational energy on stage, aptly described as ‘Dirty, Nasty, Brilliant’.

This show also caters to both 18+ and supervised under 18 access, allowing younger high-school aged fans the chance to experience a full rock and roll show when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Midwave Breaks are excited to deliver their latest full length show, as well as continuing to shine a light on the next generation of emerging artists. Landing in the middle weekend of the July school holidays, this should be locked in as a Bay Of Plenty destination event – road trips fully encouraged.
