TO THE FRONT KIRIKIRIROA
13 – 16 April 2026
Zeal Hamilton, Ward Lane
To The Front Kirikiriroa holiday programme is back to Hamilton for the school holidays of April 2026. Born from Girls Rock Camp Aotearoa in 2017 the gender-inclusive music development programme encourages young women, trans, intersex, takatāpui and gender diverse youth to embrace their creativity in a safe space.
Running from Monday 13th – Thursday 16th April and hosted at Zeal Hamilton, the holiday programme includes daily instrument practice, where the attendees form ‘bands’ together for the week with the aim to perform a live showcase on the final day. They’ll participate in group workshops such as stage craft, recording audio, music videos, DIY merchandise, zine making and more – while being treated to lunch time performances by exciting artists from the New Zealand music industry.
