Are you up for a revolution? Tickets are flying out the door for this coming weekend's annual grass roots music festival, Sanctuary Sounds.
Set on a 2.2ha rural property in Central Hawke's Bay this festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary and features a jam-packed line-up of local and international music talent over three days.
The reputation of the event is such that this year organisers have had to turn away bands, but headlining the 23 acts that will be entertaining from Friday night through to Sunday are two bands that have been making waves since they hit the music scene.
X-Factor finalists Brendon Thomas and the Vibes will take to the stage on Friday night, the trio of frontman Brendon Thomas, drummer Timothee Nolier and bassist Michael Anderson ramping up the party with their bohemian rock stylings.
On Saturday night, Wellington seven piece, neo-dub/soul/psychedelia ensemble Tunes of I, who cite Kora, Fat Freddys Drop and The Black Seeds as inspiration are sure to rock the house.
