Freshman 2016
How a fresher party is meant to be.
Overview
The ultimate Orientation Week party is coming to Auckland, featuring some of the biggest musical acts in New Zealand and the world. The lineup reads like a who’s who of upcoming hip hop and soul acts, including Grammy-nominated soulstress Jhene Aiko, acclaimed American hip hopper G-Eazy and much-loved New Zealand rapper David Dallas. This lineup makes me want to dye the grey in my hair and act like a student again, so lucky for me and others who aren't students, these shows are completely open to the public.
Expect big things as Jhene plays hits from her #1 album Souled Out, and G-Eazy proves why he’s hip-hop’s one to watch. David Dallas always entertains with impressive stage presence and hard hitting lyrics, but this performance is particularly exciting as we may just be treated to a sneak peek of his highly anticipated upcoming album and its socially conscious lead single, “Don’t Rate That”.
Finally, there’s a reason to get excited for Auckland Orientation Week, so get your hands on some tickets before they go and get excited, because this is how a fresher party is meant to be.
