The mighty Newtown Rocksteady Return with their massive house of sound.

Get yo finest rags on for a New Year celebration, waters edge style.

The bonfire will be lit with bass, dowsed in drums, and then fed with vocals, guitars, keys, horns, dancing, banter, laughter and special guests.

Watch them burn! After years of smash hit, full houses at the Boathouse, the boys are heading down the island again to shake things up deep on the dock of the bay.

Did we mention the special guests? Not just guests, special guests! Who will they be…come find out!

Hear some bangin new tunes! AND before we even get to this great hoopla …. Fraser Ross & the Felt Tips will toast a few stories on the barbeque microphones. Maybe they will gather hot guitar solos from the backstage forest. Drape some chord-changes on the speakers, and dangle fairy-light freak-outs on the front row. Come see!

It could be the best night of your life! Fullas, you might find a pretty lady in the crowd’ Ladies, you might get yourself a cashed-up musician (get in quick -they’re flying out the door!)

Whatever happens, it will be hearty good times.

The band has its roots firmly embedded in the traditions of Jamaican rocksteady, ska and reggae music and is further nourished by its connection with its community. They will be spreading this love on their South Island tour in January 2026.

Be sure to bring your dancing shoes for one of Wellington’s biggest, best-loved, longest-running and grooviest vintage reggae bands: Newtown Rocksteady!
