Catch the Bass in the Basin

SANDWICHES SUMMERSET is the ultimate day/nighter to pull the stumps on daylight savings, hitting out with seven hours of extremely fine live music, world-class hospitality, class on grass and a picket fence at Wellington’s BASIN RESERVE.

Heading the lineup is Wellington’s own Fat Freddy’s Drop, batting alongside New Zealand heavyweights Shapeshifter, Ladi6 and Parks and Downtown Brown and the Sunshine Sound System. They are joined by two international acts live and direct from the UK - Tom Middleton and Black Grass! Capping off the team are two of the country’s fittest MCs KPz (Killa Puha) and P Digsss, guaranteed to keep the players in check.

Ticket numbers for Sandwiches SummerSet are limited to 5000 and the entire Basin Reserve will be fully licensed for the occasion. The ‘Heineken Greenspace’ - featuring table service from Heineken Helpers, the best views of stage, comfort and shade – provides you with a world-class box seat at this event.

With its central city location, Historic Places Trust status and age, the Basin is New Zealand’s most famous cricket ground. Opened as Wellington's official cricket ground on December 11 1866, the Basin was constructed on a former lake known as the Basin Lake, on land uplifted by a major earthquake in 1855.

The idea of transforming Wellington’s legendary cricket ground into a boutique festival site to see out the close of daylight savings is the gameplan of Sandwiches, awarded Night Club of the Year at the inaugural 2006 New Zealand Bar Awards.

The aim is to make SummerSet an annual Wellington event. Says Sandwiches Entertainment Director Bryce Mason: “It’s all about world class music and hospitality, and keeping our eye on the ball!”
