Churr, Anthemz legends! The weekend might be over, but that's no reason to sit on the couch staring at the wall. We've scoured Christchurch to bring you the ultimate lineup of epic gigs, late-night sessions, and proper local atmosphere to keep your week firing.
Here's where it's all kicking off:
Monday — Dolfin-Lin Duo (Cello & Piano)

Tuesday — Open Mic Stand-Up
Where: Good Times Comedy Club
When: 7:30 PM
The Vibe: Get down to Colombo Street for a fast-paced night of local stand-up. A mix of seasoned Christchurch comics testing new material and first-timers taking the mic. Cold drinks, big laughs, and top-tier banter to keep the Tuesday energy high.
Wednesday — Live Blues & Roots Session
Where: A Rolling Stone
When: 7:00 PM
The Vibe: Midweek pub session done right. Grab a cold craft beer, get stuck into classic pub eats, and catch local acoustic roots artists tearing up the stage in proper rock-and-roll surroundings.

Thursday — Northern Fogline & Sam Beal
Where: Darkroom
When: 8:00 PM
The Vibe: Thursday is basically the weekend anyway. Round up the crew, grab a cold one, and check out Darkroom's iconic micro-venue setup. Unfiltered indie-folk sounds, epic banter, and up-and-coming talent tearing up the stage.
Friday — Emerson (Leap! Tour)
