One stage. Ten bands. Feel the noise. Rock the City!

On Friday 5th September, Nelson's youth music scene isn't just knocking on the door of the Theatre Royal—they're taking it over! For one night only, COMMOTION and Nelson City Council are handing the legendary Theatre Royal stage over to the next generation.

Rock the City is a non-competitive youth music showcase, packed with the freshest talent. Ten incredible bands will seize the spotlight, performing their original music to an enthusiastic audience.

Featuring: Shedheads, Imperfect Circles, Salisbury Road, Recovery, Triple Stuffed, Flipswitch, Lodestone, Armadillo, Zinger and Silver Lining.

This is your chance to experience the energy when raw talent meets a professional stage and connects with an audience that champions every note. The vibe is pure support and community spirit, celebrating the creative talents of our rangatahi.


Alcohol free event.
General admission (seats not allocated).
Seats removed from the flat section downstairs to make room for dancing.
