The concert where they want you to fall asleep

From Nights, 10:17 pm on 21 June 2024

Tonight is the final night of the Loemis winter festival in Wellington. To celebrate, the festival is hosting The Longest Night, a sleep concert running from 11pm to 7am. Seven artists will perform all night long, and it might be the only time concert-goers are encouraged to sleep. Erika Grant is the lead artist on the project and will also be performing. She speaks to Emile Donovan about where the idea for the concert came from.
