We are stoked to announce the first act locked in for Crab Fest 2026…

The Peroni Session. A five piece band straight out of the beautiful Hawke’s Bay, serving up a set as diverse as they are. Think Bowie to The Black Keys, Salmonella Dub to The Black Seeds, with absolute gems cherry picked from over six decades of music. Dub, roots, funk, pop, reggae, rock, soul. The good stuff, done right.

As the story goes, The Peronis also enjoy a Negroni. During Napier’s annual Negroni Week, a few drinks deep, it was decided the only thing they were missing was matching sneakers. And just like that, the yellow shoes were born.

You’re gonna want to be front and centre for this one.
