It has a huge repertoire of music from the 40s to the new millennia from pop and rock, Latin and jazz to big band standards.

It doesn't matter whether you just like to sit and listen or want to get up on the generous dance floor and 'do your thing' - there is room for everyone. Dancers and non-dancers are all welcome.

This event has a special licence so the bar is open to all members of the public (R18) and you can invite your friends without having to sign them in.

If you are looking for music that you recognise and enjoy then the Mainland Big Band has it. Join us for an evening of rock, pop, ballads and jazz.

Masks are required to enter the venue, but vaccine passes are not required. Gigs will not run if Christchurch is at the Red traffic light setting.
