Ayrburn’s summer of music comes to a spectacular close on Saturday, 29th March, with The Jordan Luck Band bringing their signature energy to The Dell. Expect a set packed with timeless Kiwi anthems — think Who Loves Who The Most?, Victoria, and more — guaranteed to have you singing along.
As the legendary frontman of The Exponents, Jordan Luck is a household name in New Zealand’s music scene, known for his infectious stage presence and era-defining hits. Joined by his powerhouse band, this will be a high-energy send-off to summer you won’t want to miss. They’ll be in great company, too, with Tahuna Groove and Ginger & Tonic taking to the stage from 4.30pm setting the tone for an unforgettable evening, before The Jordan Luck Band kicks off their set at 6.30pm.
If you’re planning to attend, make a day of it — whether it’s with long lunch or early dinner, pre-show drinks, a picnic spread to enjoy during the show, or a post-gig nightcap, here’s where to get your fix before, during, and after the show.
PRE-SHOW
Be it for a long lunch or an early dinner, or simply a light bite and drink pre-show, both The Woolshed and The Manure Room will have you covered.
The Woolshed’s new bistro-style menu is brimming with delights, from scallops with charred corn salsa, coriander crème and prosciutto crumb to the delectable grilled octopus, served with red capsicum, sauce pistou, pickled guindillas, and nduja oil, and the whole grilled flat fish with brown butter and caper & raisin dressing.
While, over the way at The Manure Room, share plates abound, making it the perfect spot to park up with a group for drinks and snacks. From crispy chicken with a sticky chilli sauce to decadent lamb & pork meatballs with grana padano and tasting plates brimming with cured meats and cheeses, here, there’s something to satisfying every craving — and accompany any choice of beverage from the extensive menu.
DURING THE SHOW
At The Bakehouse, one of Ayrburn’s most recent arrivals, you’ll find everything you need to keep you going during the performance — available to eat in or grab and go — from delectable pizzas to fresh rolls, tasty burgers, fried chicken, and even whole cooked chickens to feed many.
And right next door at the adjoining R.M. Prime Produce, you’ll discover a store like no other, brimming with deli fare, Ayrburn wines, baked breads and more — aka, everything you need for a picnic on The Dell.
POST-SHOW
After the main event, you’ll have no shortage of locales to settle in for a night cap. At The Barrel Room, with its sumptuous interiors and exquisite selection of drinks, exceptional wine is always pouring and an ever-rotating list of inventive cocktails is sure to keep you well satiated.
While, at The Burr Bar — Ayrburn’s intimate cocktail lounge, you’ll find an inviting, relaxed ambience perfectly for winding down for the evening after a night of dancing. Grab a seat in front of the roaring fire, or find a private spot indoors, order a few tasty bites and your drink of choice, and soak in the incredible atmosphere.
