The popular Winery Tour is returning to Whangarei next year after a break, but the need for a bigger venue has seen the concert move from Tutukaka to Toll Stadium.
The Winery Tour had been held the Tutukaka Marina Reserve in February since 2010 - when Tim Finn, Bic Runga and Dave Dobbyn took to the stage - attracting a crowd of up to 3000, but it was not held there the past two years.
However, the tour will return to Whangarei on February 5, with the headliners Bic Runga, Brooke Fraser and Benny Tipene, at Toll Stadium.
Winery Tour co-promoter said it was simply the need for a larger space that saw the tour move into town.
"We're excited to be returning to Northland. Tutukaka was a great place to play but we're limited in capacity there, and we wanted to grow the show so Toll Stadium is a great venue and we're really looking forward to the show," Smith said.
