The line-ups have been announced for the four all-ages shows — to be held this Saturday and Sunday and September 7 and 8, from 1pm-5pm at Te Whare O Rukutia, 20 Princes St.
In the lead-up to the gigs, the young musicians — some experienced and others playing their first shows — are busy with rehearsals and some will be venturing out for their first radio interviews.
The annual Amped programme offers free music workshops, mentoring and all-ages gigs for young people aged under 18 during term 3, led by tutors, techs and guest artists from across the Otepoti Dunedin music community.
Amped 2024 has been produced by Dunedin musician, music producer and arts manager Craig Monk.
The programme has been running since 2012, originally as the Chicks Project, and is now under the umbrella of the Dunedin Fringe Arts Trust, with the goal of starting the next generation’s music careers.
