Presented by ZM radio, the tour kicks off at the foot of Mount Ruapehu where they play the great, cold outdoors at Ohakune's Mardis Gras Festival. A quick detour to Queenstown's for separate gigs during winter festival then heaters on for the drive to Canterbury and scarfed-up shows in Timaru, Christchurch and Methven.
