Wild Wild West: Boots n' Bands n' BBQ | Christchurch, Nov 7

If your idea of a great night out involves live country music, good BBQ, cold drinks and a full dancefloor then Wild Wild West: Boots n' Bands n' BBQ has your name on it.

Taking over The Substation on Milton Street for one night only, this Christchurch event is bringing together live music, western entertainment and plenty of country atmosphere, all under one roof.

With performances from The Eastern, James Ray and Ben Farrar, plus line dancing, giveaways, a bucking bull and more, there's plenty happening from the moment the doors open.

Wild Wild West is about more than what's happening on stage. Throughout the night, you'll be able to check out live hat steaming and branding demonstrations, giving country fans the chance to see a classic western tradition up close.

Feeling brave? Jump on the bucking bull and see how long you can hold on.

There'll also be a continuous BBQ running all evening, a fully stocked bar, line dancing demonstrations for those keen to learn a few moves, and plenty of opportunities to hit the dancefloor once the music gets underway.

There'll also be giveaways happening across the night!

The Eastern: String band energy with punk edge, gospel soul, and country grit. Not to be missed!

James Ray: Multi-award-winning NZ country rock legend, bringing decades of stage experience straight to Wild Wild West.

Ben Farrar: Canterbury-raised country talent blending Kiwi roots with American heartland influence. Real stories, real sound.
