Rob Joass (Love Shack | Sun 29 Jan)
Love Shack is your ultimate 80’s party band featuring some of New Zealand’s finest and most experienced musicians. Relive the magical days of dancing the night away, rocking out to your favourite songs of the 80’s.
“I’ve performed at Gardens Magic before, most recently with my other band Hobnail in 2018.
“I’ve also been in the audience many times, most memorably to see the Warratahs, Sam Hunt, Darren Watson with Smokeshop, and The Frank Burkitt Band.
“It’s always a great atmosphere, family friendly, we usually have a group of us with picnic blankets and food. Great night out. For free!
“Playing to a large crowd in such a beautiful setting is a joy. I love playing with Love Shack and can’t wait to see how the audience will respond. We are an unashamed nostalgia show and our audiences are usually up and dancing from the first song.”
