Hollie Smith - Live!
Hollie Smith is coming to Rhyme X Reason and it's going to be amazing!
Hollie Smith's musical journey has been one of authenticity and emotional depth, and this tour is no exception. Hollie invites her fans to join her on a musical voyage that feels as personal as spending an evening with her in your living room.
These shows offer more than just a chance to hear the melodies of Hollie Smith; it's an opportunity to hear her new music yet to be released and gain insight into the creative process and the stories behind her new music. After the success of her 4th number one album in 2020, you have the chance to hear the next album come to life and even the songs that won't make the cut.

3 Bucks Left - Live at Rhyme X Reason Brewery, Wānaka
Irish Comedians '3 Bucks Left' Announce their first ever Australia & New Zealand Tour for March 2025
Get ready for a night of laughter and unforgettable comedy as legendary Irish group ‘3 Bucks Left’ bring their raucous show down under in March 2025! With very special guest, the legendary Martin Maloney AKA Eddie Durkan.
It’s been a wild ride of ups and downs. Crude, lofty, self-deprecating introspection, coupled with rowdy philosophies. Such misadventures are not for the faint of heart. Ruggedly charming, extremely funny riding close to the wind.
