Welcome to the home of Taupo's summer of music
We have begun to finalise our acts and entertainment for you in the coming 2011/2012 season. Please check back regularly for times, dates, artist bio’s and photographs.
The 93.6 More FM Summer Series was established in 2004 to both welcome in the new year and as a special and spectacular thank you to everyone involved in the Taupo regions event industry. From the much lauded hard working volunteers to the participants, spectators, officials, marshals, land owners, stakeholders and general public who are gracious in their support of what has become the Event Capital of New Zealand.
