It is with great regret due to illness, Goldenhorse are no longer joining OPSHOP on their Theatre Tour. Opshop will, however, still be joined by the wonderfully talented singer/songwriter Luke Thompson.

Opshop have had amazing success since bursting onto the scene with their platinum debut album ‘You Are Here’ and with their follow up album ‘Second Hand Planet’ going one step further, recently reaching
double platinum status and still gracing the NZ Music charts one year after release.

Celebrating this huge success, Opshop are pleased to confirm their 18 date ‘Big Energy In A Can Tour’ throughout New Zealand.

Each venue will have a Telecom Drop Zone for canned food donations which will be donated to the Salvation Army food banks.

“We (Opshop) believe passionately that we want to make a tangible difference in communities throughout NZ, and with the help of the Salvation Army food banks nationwide, we are able to provide an easy mechanism to facilitate this. Its simple, pull a can of food out of the cupboard and throw it in the Telecom Drop Zone when you arrive at the gig. It helps the less fortunate out and it makes you full of warm fuzzies for winter just before the show" - Jason Kerrison

    opshop would have to be one of the best bands that have come out of New Zealand. Very talented men and their talent is brillant I think they rock. They have put the hard work in and its paid off. would love to win tickets to see them. They are one of my fav. Keep it up guys

    Maybe I'll get to experience my first every concert in NZ (I'm from Canada) by winning these tickets and letting those back home know what Kiwi's really have to offer one day.

    Maybe making sure that I stop at the SPCA to also donate cans on my way to the gig will make a difference to an animal, even if it is just for one day

    Opshop is a favourite with my husband and since it's his birthday on 5th July wouldn't going to the concert be a great present. And Goldenhorse is a favourite of mine, it's almost like we're meant to go.

    Maybe when i go to the Opshop gig in Hamilton and take the can of food to pop into the Telecom Drop Zone, it will inspire othrs to do the same one day.

    I tried really hard to get Opshop to come and play in cambridge for the small town tour but alas we didnt get it. At least this way now we will be able to see them locally. It is so refreshing to have NZ bands remember the "little" people and play the smaller venues. cant wait!!!

    Maybe, Opshop and Jason Kerrison are making a huge difference in New Zealand through their combined charity work of not only Salvation Army foodbanks but also Cure Kids, a charity which supports reseach into Child Illnesses and in doing this are making the future of New Zealand a better place, one day.
