Blossom Festival names headline actsKiwi rocker Jordan Luck will also take centre stage at this year’s Blossom Festival, with a star-studded band.

The 65th Contact Alexandra Blossom Festival organisers say it will be the “biggest ever” with iconic Kiwi acts such as The Lady Killers and Jordan Luck headlining the Party in the Park.


Kiwi rocker Jordan Luck will bring a band of experienced musicians with him - Bryan Bell - ex-frontman of the Dead Flowers; Beaver - rock’n’roll royalty and drummer of the world famous D4, Rich Mixture - legend of all things musical and formerly of D4, Dead Flowers and many more plus Joe Walsh - frontman of Auckland rocker's Ekko Park. 


This incredible line up of Kiwi musicians make up The Jordan Luck Band and together have just one purpose...to bring Jordan’s blend of pop rock genius from the past, present and future… back to the masses! 


As front man and pop-writing genius with the legendary Exponents, Luck clocked up a staggering 18 Top 40 singles over the years, with ‘Victoria’ recently voted by the public as the 8th greatest New Zealand song of all time.


He has the honour of being the inaugural inductee into the New Zealand Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and in 2015 received the NZ Music Legacy Award.


But accolades aside, on any given weekend you will hear packed stadiums of sports fans singing in unison - not necessarily in tune - ‘Why Does Love Do This to Me?’ a song that for many has taken on the mantle as the ‘unofficial’ alternative NZ national anthem.


The Jordan Luck Band will be rocking the Blossom Festival with the best of all those iconic Exponents tracks we know and love as well as a collection of the bands favourite Kiwi classics.


Martin McPherson says he is “stoked” to have secured the legendary rockers for the festival's 65th celebrations.


“This is an event you don’t want to miss,’’ he says.


For 16 years the Kiwi music stalwarts, The Lady Killers, consisting of Jackie Clarke, Suzanne Lynch and Tina Cross, have entertained audiences with dazzling vocals and good humour.


The Lady Killers will feature at this year’s Blossom Festival. 


From a whisper to a scream and everything in between, The Lady Killers make music bursting with harmony, beauty and power. The approach is simple - take great songs and lovingly accessorize them with harmony.


Clarke and Lynch are bringing their bestie Annie Crummer to Alexandra - Lady Killer alumni Cross is busy treading the boards in an Auckland production of Wicked.  


Be ready for Lady Killer classics, Annie Crummer mega-hits and songs that tip the hat to the 65 glorious years the Blossom Festival has been a ‘must-do’ in our social calendars.


Blossom Festival event manager Martin McPherson says The Lady Killers were an “exciting’’ addition to the festival line up.
