Tikidub Presents: Tiki Taane One Man Band live at Water Bar Wānaka on Saturday 11 July. Get ready for a high-energy night as Tiki Taane brings his signature live looping show to Water Bar. Known for turning a stage into a full-band experience on his own, Tiki combines vocals, instruments, effects, and looping technology to create a performance that's equal parts concert and musical masterclass. Joining him on the night are local favourite Robert Glen and Maglow Kru. Doors open at 9pm, with Robert Glen from 9:30pm, Tiki Taane at 10:45pm, Maglow Kru at 12:15am, and the party rolling through until 2:30am. In this interview, Tiki talks about why supporting local artists matters, and why he wanted to create an opportunity for a local act to be part of the show. He also reflects on his decades in the music industry, how his creative process has evolved, and the role music continues to play in his life beyond entertainment. From producing music in his home studio to performing as a one-man band, Tiki shares how experience has helped him refine his craft, overcome creative blocks, and stay inspired after all these years. It's a conversation about music, creativity, community, and the power of live performance.
