Blues on the Point Festival 2026

The Blues on the Point Festival is back!! Following the huge success of the '24 and '25 festivals, Tasman Bay Blues Club is again bringing some of New Zealand's best blues musicians together for this one-day event at their waterfront home of The Honest Lawyer Gardens, Monaco.

Headlined by the Neil Billington & Nick Granville Band from Wellington they are guaranteed to deliver razor sharp Chicago style blues and be a crowd favourite. Neil is arguably NZ's best blues and chromatic harp player in NZ with Nick Granville, a professional guitarist having worked with many international recording artists over the years.

Back by popular demand will be the very talented 17 year old Lachlan Platt from Christchurch and joining this line up will be the best of Tasman Bay Blues performers with Dem Blues Boys, Marcus Roebuck and Rocket Box, Sugar Bowl and Juke Joint.

This year we will be right out on the point on the grass by the water so bring a deck chair, a rug and settle yourself in for an afternoon of wonderful music in the late summer sunshine. There is limited parking so carpooling with a friend is highly recommended.

PLEASE NOTE: Strictly NO BYO. This is a licensed venue with full bar facilities on site. There will be plenty of shade, so leave your umbrellas at home, bring sunscreen and wear your funkiest hat. Finally, leave your pooches at home. Disability Assist Dogs welcome

Thankyou and we look forward to seeing you there!
