Live Music
The Home of Live Music in Gisborne - and judged the Best Music Entertainment Venue in New Zealand !
For the past 25 years, Smash Palace has been pumping out the hottest live sounds with acts like Head Like A Hole, The D4, Ladi6, Jordan Luck Band, Paua, as well as local heroes Skankamelia, The Nervous Surgeons and Uni-Fi to name a few turning on huge nights for music lovers.
Tuesday nights from 7 we get a bit carried away with Pub Choir Gisborne singing up a storm - its free to join and you even get a free singing lesson !
Friday nights from 8 should be in your diary as a regular live music "must-do" as Gizzy's finest muso's and guests "Build-A-Band" - jamming up a storm.
When sunny days are here we use the outdoor stage, but otherwise the indoor stage at Smash Palace is pumping every Saturday night ! A growing collection of more than 500 vinyl albums is regularly spun on the Smash Palace turntables before and after the live acts.
