Following on from an extremely successful worldwide tour earlier in 2012 Six60 is bringing the live and massive home to New Zealand this summer including a gig in Mount Maunganui.

The Kiwi band will play Brewers Bar on January 4 as part of their nationwide summer tour.

Six60 summer tour will play at Mount Maunganui.

Hailing back to their 2008 Dunedin roots, when they were playing small living room concerts to friends and family, organisers say this will be the ultimate house party.

Summer 2011 saw Six60 perform a sell-out tour playing to more than 15,000 people in just seven shows, but this year the tour will prove even more massive with very special guests bringing their own party favours along the way.

One such special guest is David Dallas. With hits such as ‘Take A Picture' and ‘Start Lookin' Round' David has recently completed a 50 date tour of the USA with indie darlings AER and released his latest project ‘Buffalo Man' for free on daviddallas.co.nz.

For the first two shows in Wellington and New Plymouth, the beautiful Iva Lamkum will be bringing her critically acclaimed unique and funky blend of new-rave indie soul to warm up the stage.

And for one extremely special show in Auckland on January 5, David Dallas will once again join Six60 along with very special guests; the legendary Shihad, platinum selling Kiwi rock group I Am Giant and Australian rockabilly act King Cannons.

Lead singer Matiu Walters says he and the guys are looking forward to Touring NZ again this summer.

'We can't wait to get back on the road and smash out another tour – house party styles, and bringing along some special guests for the ride.”
