SHAYNE CARTER (NZ) + 'LIFE IN ONE CHORD' film screening (4pm)
Special guests Harpo Wah
Theatre Royal, Castlemaine (Castlemaine, VIC)
Saturday, 6 December 2025 7:00 pm
One of Aotearoa / New Zealand's most iconic artists, Shayne P. Carter is returning to Australia, to play a special not-to-be-missed solo performance, with works chosen from across his long career.
From his inception in the teen punk rock Bored Games and the noise-pop DoubleHappys, to the genre-defining Straitjacket Fits and the ever-evolving Dimmer, Carter has never stood still.
A stalwart of the Flying Nun movement, and an ever-evolving artist, Shayne P Carter is now the subject of a new documentary Life in One Chord.
In response to the film, Carter is choosing from both his back and front catalogue, to bring a one-in-a-lifetime show to Australian audiences.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Theatre Royal.
