The Nukes – A Road Trip in Song

Join ukulele group, The Nukes, for a road trip like no other – a song-journey from Rakiura to Cape Reinga, woven together with harmony and laughter. Celebrating over 15 years together the Nukes have built a reputation built upon finely crafted original tunes, comic flair and great musicianship, all of which have made them one of New Zealand’s most endearing, and enduring live acts – and their newest show is set to be a crowd-pleaser.

This special performance blends The Nukes signature songwriting with a fresh twist – the inclusion of war-era classics that showcase the group’s warm four-part vocal harmonies. At the heart of it all is the humble ukulele, transformed in their hands into a truly musical and expressive instrument. Expect toe-tapping tunes, classic ballads, and moments of musical magic as The Nukes take you on a tour of Aotearoa – one story and one song at a time.

This all-ages show once again reunites original members Snapper, Ben, and Dave, and also features Dave’s son Josh (JayP) in the line-up.

The Nukes have tour NZ and Australia extensively. They performed at
WOMAD NZ, Auckland & Canterbury Folk Festivals, Hamilton Garden Festival, New Plymouth Festival of Light, Wanaka Festival of Colour, Coastella, Southland Festival of Arts, Taranaki Festival of the Arts, Hawkes Bay Arts Festival, Bluff Oyster Festival, Erupt Festival Taupo, and more….
