K Road’s beloved music festival The Others Way returns this Friday 30th August to Tāmaki Makaurau for another night of music and good vibes. The Others Way have revealed the first artist lineup for 2019, with more to be announced over the coming weeks.

Celebrated acts The Chills, Straitjacket Fits and Blam Blam Blam return to the stage. It has been a big year for both The Chills and Straitjacket Fits with the release of a documentary (The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy of Martyn Phillipps) and an autobiography (Shayne Carter's 'Dead People I Have Known'); both critically-lauded pieces of work.

Celebrating the future of kiwi music, rap prodigies Church & AP, CHAII and Shiraz & LSJ are bound to bring the house down. Bang your head guts out to Long Distance Runner, Echo Oh’s, DOG Power, Contenders and more. Bailey Wiley is set to soothe along with the swirling, hypnotic tones of Mermaidens, and the engrossing sound waves of Creme Jean. Princess Chelsea will treat you to her mesmerizing dulcet pop tones while wordsmith enchantress Being. and Bad Timing will steal your hearts.

Plus, joining the local lineup are American indie cult-figures Chris Cohen and John Maus.

Purchase your passes in-store or online from Flying Out and Undertheradar.
