Tipene is widely considered one of Aotearoa's leading bilingual Hip-Hop artists, with a message deeply rooted in Te Ao Māori, so it is fitting that he is performing on Waitangi Day. Special guests include the soulful voice of Te Paea Seasons; along with Koma [4 Corners] bringing some beats. 

Expect a packed out crowd, with some of Aotearoa’s most distinctive voices providing an event grounded in kaupapa Māori and collective strength. 

A homecoming of sorts for Tipene, to a town he has been previously based in.
