We're over the moon to announce that for the first time we will be running the Kirikiriroa Hamilton Poetry Slam!

Slam is not a traditional reading, it's fun, interactive, honest, raw and engaging. Ten local poets will compete for random audience votes and by the end of the night we will have crowned a brand new Kirikiriroa Hamilton Poetry Slam Champion for 2023!

Hamilton has a long and rich history of poetry slam, but after a couple of years resting, we're excited to run an event featuring some wonderful local poets. Special thank you to Hamilton City Libraries for having us.

This is big and loud poetry at its very best. Come stomp, holler, and cheer for your favourite as Hamilton's top spoken word artists perform for your votes.

Doors are at 6.30pm for a 7pm start, bring your friends and whānau!
