With only weeks to go until New Zealand’s largest community event, Canterbury A&P Show organisers have announced the entertainment line-up for this year’s Show.
New Zealand’s first ever MasterChef winner Brett McGregor will be cooking up a storm in the Electrolux Demonstration Kitchen this Show Day (13 November). After winning in 2010, the former teacher’s life has gone from detentions and marking to TV Shows, cookbooks, endorsement deals and cooking demonstrations around the country. Show Visitors will be able to learn some of Brett’s tricks of the trade in the Food and Wine NZ Pavillion at 11am, 1pm and 3pm.
Legendary New Zealand band The Feelers will be rocking out the Village Green this Show Day and two of New Zealand’s best country music acts have been announced as supporting acts. New Zealand Country Music Male Artist of the Year Cam Scott is one of our hottest new acts and has supported the likes of Lady Antebellum in Australia. He’ll be joined by popular duo Mae Valley on all three days of The Show on the MORE FM Main Stage. Mae Valley rose to stardom after their success on X-Factor and several top 20 New Zealand hits.
The Tip Top Family Lawn will be the best spot for entertainment for the whole family thanks to The Court Theatre this year: Children can help Super Sam find his super powers and be wowed by crazy stunts in the Magic and Mayhem Kids Show. Popular Pirate Captain Festus McBoyle returns this year with his motley crew and loads of swashbuckling tunes to dance along to. The Popsicle team will be on hand again this year with face painting and loads of other fun activities for kids of all ages.
Motorbiking action will make a comeback to The Show this year with the Backflips Endurocross competition: Endurocross is a hybrid sport blending the disciplines of motocross and enduro in a series of sprint races over man made obstacles making for spectacular viewing. New Zealand’s best riders from around the country will be competing on all three days of The Show this year.
More information on entertainment at this year’s Show can be found at www.theshow.co.nz.
