Wolfmother
Led by vocalist/guitarist Andrew Stockdale, Wolfmother has amassed a global fanbase, played to packed-house crowds around the world and delivered show-stealing sets at star-studded festivals like Coachella, Isle of Wight, Lollapalooza, Splendour in the Grass, Rock en Seine and Fuji Rock to name a few. They’ve been invited to share stages with rock icons AC/DC and Guns N’ Roses and for Led Zeppelin’s induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame, Wolfmother was personally invited as their guest performers.
After the colossal success of the their debut record, Stockdale wrote and released another four records under the moniker of Wolfmother: Cosmic Egg, New Crown, Victorious and more recently Rock’n’Roll Baby, as well as two solo records Keep Moving and Slipstream. Stockdale has also collaborated on Slash’s first solo effort, ‘By The Sword’ and last year with Chris Cester of Jet on ‘Chase The Feeling’.
Head Like A Hole
Kiwi rock legends Head Like A Hole are taking stage at Rock 2000 Live for a second time, originally performing 2020 at our first ever Rock 2000 Live event at Spark Arena.
Born in the bowels of the Empire Warehouse in 1990 Head Like A Hole took to the Wellington music scene like an under domesticated animal tearing holes in peoples ear drums, It didn’t take long to build a loyal following with live shows turning into complete mayhem usually with at least two members playing naked.
The NZ Rock All Stars
In a Rock 2000 first, some of Aotearoa's most-loved rock musos will come together for one night only to pay homage to rock music, and The Rock 2000’s countdown legends.
Damian Alexander (Blindspott), Shelton Woolright (Blindspott), Jennie Skulander (Devilskin), Nail (Devilskin), Julia Deans (Fur Patrol), brothers Laughton and Fran Kora (Kora), Neil Fraser (Villainy), Paul Russell (Midwave Breaks, Supergroove), Richie Allen (Kora, Heavy Metal Ninja’s), Andy Kerr (I Am Giant) and Ara Adams-Tamatea will perform their version of some of the countdown’s biggest hits over the past 25 years, as well as some of their own chart-topping bangers we all know and love.
