With the Katikati Twilight Concert series underway for 2025, music-lovers still have two concerts offering a fabulous line-up that you won’t want to miss! So grab a friend, bring a picnic and get to Haiku Park on January 25 and February 8 – gates open 5pm.

The January 25 concert is a ‘Shania Twain Tribute Show’, hot from the UK, said a spokesperson from Twilight Concert.

“The reviews in Europe for this show starring Liza Rebecca are amazing. The show includes songs from the biggest selling album by a female artist of all time.”

Organisers said Rebecca brings all the sass and style of the real Shania. “She is touring with her own band and promises to throw in a few surprises as well as several costume changes! We invite you to a special night and ask you to Come on Over!”

February 8’s show is a night of two halves, said organisers. “First up is a Katikati favourite, Albi and the Wolves. The band is made up of singer and acoustic guitarist Chris Dent, singer and violinist Pascal Roggen, and singer and double bass player Michael Young.”

Albi & the Wolves formed in 2014 and play in New Zealand and overseas, said concert organisers. “They cover many musical genres including blues, folk, indie and jazz, always leaving the audience wanting more!”

The night’s second half will see Waihi lass Sarah Spicer and her band entertain the crowd.

“Sarah spent nine years in San Fransisco writing songs, learning her craft and playing the rock and blues circuit. She sings jazz, rock, blues and folk and will be joined by well-known Tauranga musician Liam Ryan.”

Spicer has played at twilight concerts before, knows what the audience likes “and is very much looking forward to entertaining us again”.

“So come on down to the Haiku Reserve in Katikati with your friends, family, picnic hamper and beach chairs to be entertained with live music for only $25 per person. Under-15s gain free entry when accompanied by a paying adult.”

Tickets are available for purchase from the Arts Junction, 36 Main Rd; email: www.katikati.org.nz; or pay cash at the gate. If wet, the concert will take place the following day.
