With a SOLID line-up, capacity for 6,000 people PLUS a headline act and Jim Beam Band Search winner still to be named, the Jim Beam Rock stage in the TSB Arena will be chocka all day. The line-up so far includes...

	Shihad                                      It's just not a rock concert without these guys so they are back on the bill. Shihad are a favourite of many & New Zealand's preeminent rock act. Hailing from Wellington but having spent many years overseas, they love to play in their hometown - get to the Jim Beam Rock stage early as the crowd will be massive!
	The Feelers                        The Feelers need no introduction. They're one of our premier rock bands with a fistfull of NZ music awards, multiple No 1 selling albums, a silver scroll award and a string of songs that have become Kiwi anthems. Expect nothing less than a packed venue when they hit the Jim Beam Rock Stage in 2010.
	The Datsuns                                      We are stoked to announce The Datsuns will be making their first appearance at Jim Beam Homegrown. They have become unprecedented success in the US, UK & NZ  and have toured the world extensively. At Homegrown they're bringing their energy charged set to the Rock stage - yeah!
	Midnight Youth                            Nobody's hotter than Midnight Youth at the moment. Their first single 'The Letter' hit the #1 most played NZ song on radio, C4 & Juice. They just won 3 tui's at the NZ Music Awards including Best Group & Best Rock Album for their amazing debut album 'The Brave Don't Run'
	Goodnight Nurse                         Goodnight Nurse are definitely a crowd favourite - they have played at the last two Homegrown's & always draw a big crowd. They have cemented themselves as one of the country's most respected rock acts & their latest album 'Keep Me On Your Side' debuted at No 1 on the NZ charts.
	Luger Boa          2009 has been a breakthrough year for Luger Boa. They opened for Kings of Leon, are supporting HLAH on their nationwide tour, playing with The Living End, Airborne & Shihad on The Rocks Legal Tender Tour and getting truck loads of radio airplay. Make sure you see them at Jim Beam Homegrown!
	Dane Rumble After a platinum album and 3 No1 hits with the Fast Crew, Dane Rumble has now picked up his guitar & gone solo. His first two singles 'Always B Here' which spent 16 weeks in the top 20 & 'Don't Know What To Do' recieved plenty of airplay & secured him a deal with Warner Music. Take the time to check him out.
	I Am Giant The winners of this years Jim Beam Band Search is I Am Giant, who will be the opening act on the Jim Beam Rock Stage. Blindspott's Shelton Woolright & Paul Matthews from Stylus & Tadpole set up the band last year. Their hit song 'City Limits' is getting lots of airplay & they will be a great start to your day.

Each stage has a limited capacity and during the day access is on a
first come first serve basis.

Thanks to Jim Beam you'll also be able to enjoy a cold Beam
from the best seats in the house.
