🎶 Great w**e, great music and one epic street party!

We're bringing the tunes to Taste Hastings 2026, with a fantastic line-up of musicians setting the mood for a Friday night in the city centre!

🎷 Minsbie Sax – If you caught her at Nuit Blanche in Napier recently, you'll know you're in for a treat! Ukrainian-born international saxophonist Minsbie brings her signature mix of jazz, pop and electronic beats, with live saxophone sounds that are guaranteed to get you moving. Catch her at the other end of Heretaunga Street East, near the isite and Craft & Social.

🎸 Stolen Records – They were such a hit at Taste Hastings in 2024, we just had to bring them back! Expect plenty of crowd favourites, singalongs and feel-good party tunes from this talented local band. They'll be bringing the party to the main stage!

🎧 DJ Soph – Looking for something a little more laid-back? Local DJ legend Soph will be spinning the tunes in Landmarks Square, creating the perfect spot to kick back and soak up the Friday night vibes.

Add 27 Hawke's Bay w**eries, breweries and cideries, delicious food and some of Hastings' best eateries, and you've got all the ingredients for a brilliant night out!

🍷 Friday 13 November | 5pm–8.30pm
📍 Heretaunga Street East, Hastings
