With January giving way to February, L.A.B and Stan Walker celebrated summer in style with help from Nesian Mystik, Aaradhna and Te Wehi. The 13th Floor’s Azrie Azizi and Chris Zwaagdyk were at Trusts Arena to catch all the action.

What an amazing performance tonight, Masaya and JessB were the supporting acts for L.A.B and they sure did an amazing job getting the crowd warmed and pumped.

We're funny, aren't we? Us, humans. So individualistic.

Two years ago, we played to 400 people in Whakatane. Tonight, we are playing to 17,000. Joel Shadbolt, lead singer and guitarist for L.A.B. is grateful and justifiably proud tonight as New Zealand's premier Fusion Reggae band deliver a stunning and triumphant performance for a truly appreciative and buzzing Auckland

It would be fair to say that this year has definitely come out swinging, and not in a good way. Natural disasters, inept presidents, corrupt systems, and a pandemic that has forever changed the face of live music and social gatherings, has left humanity feeling battered and bruised.

Hawke’s Bay has had an awesome line-up of artists visit both Hastings and Napier this summer, and L.A.B were no exception.
