We digitised a bunch of 1980s Christchurch rock posters from the libraries’ ephemera collection for New Zealand Music Month 2007.
They are uber-cool, and if you have a hankering for more rock posters, Digital NZ has a splendid collection of posters from the Alexander Turnbull Library.

These are just so great! I’m amazed at how many of them are by Ronnie Van Hout, now a world acclaimed artist. The live music scene was full on here in Christchurch in the 80’s, and it was the era when bands mostly played original work, as opposed to the demand for cover bands now.
