It’s just days away until some of New Zealand’s favourite summer holiday locations will come alive to the sounds of the annual Summer Concert Tour.

The international acts headlining the tour have started arriving in Queenstown for the Gibbston Valley Winery Summer Concert on Saturday the 19th, the first of three shows to be held across the country.

An estimated 40,000 concert goers are expected to attend one of the three shows, which will feature SUPERTRAMP’S Roger Hodgson (with his full band), James Reyne and Mark Seymour formerly of AUSTRALIAN CRAWL and HUNTERS & COLLECTORS (along with their band), and the unmistakable voice of Toni Childs.

Legendary singer songwriter, SUPERTRAMP’S Roger Hodgson arrived in New Zealand Wednesday and was welcomed by Queenstown mayor Jim Boult.
