Plans for summer concert to move
Greenstone Entertainment has plans to move the annual Summer Concert Tour over the hill and to attract almost double the number of concert-goers. The concert has been held for more than 15 years at Gibbston Valley Station, and Greenstone announced on the eve of this year's concert it was on the move. That has been driven by the station's development plans. It is hoping to get fast-track approval for about 900 new homes, a commercial area and potentially a school on its land, meaning areas, including for carparking, may not be available in future years for concerts of that scale. Under the existing consent, up to 18,000 are permitted at the site. About 14,000 people attended this year's concert in January, featuring Everclear, Bic Runga, Icehouse and Cold Chisel. Initially rumoured to be looking at Robrosa Station, between Queenstown and Wānaka — the site of the annual Rhythm & Alps gig — the organisers are now seeking approval to hold it at the 60ha Three Parks Outdoor Arena in Wānaka. Their application is seeking land use consent to hold up to three one-day events a year for the next five years, with a maximum of 30,000 attending. "One of the events each year will be the Greenstone Summer Concert Tour." According to the application, "future development of the Gibbston Valley Winery site has meant that this location is no longer suitable due to restricted carparking and bus drop-off options". "The Three Parks Outdoor Arena site in Wānaka provides the ideal site for the Summer Concert event and ensures that the event can continue in the Queenstown Lakes district [and] will result in a direct benefit to the economy of Wānaka and the wider area and create employment." The 2026 event is pegged to employ more than 200 locals. Buses will be provided from Queenstown, Arrowtown and Cromwell to reduce traffic disruption and volume on the roads. According to the application, the proposal will result in a "less than minor effect on the surrounding roading network". Greenstone, part-owned by Gibbston Valley Wines, has long wanted to hold more than one event at the concert venue a year — in 2020 it applied to the Queenstown Lakes District Council for a variation of its Gibbston consent to hold up to five events a year.

Actor Adil Hussain's film 'Mercy' to premiere at UK Asian Film Festival, actor says 'The film is about...'
The trailer of the film was exclusively unveiled at the Indian Pavilion during the Cannes Festival last year read more Mercy, a tender and deeply human film that explores the fragile moments of parting with a loved one, will be showcased at the UK Asian Film Festival on May 5th, 2025, at Rich Mix Theatre in London. Directed by debutant Mitul Patel, Mercy is less about death and more about the emotional aftermath of love and the courage it takes to say goodbye. 'Mercy is a reflection on the quiet, often unspoken emotions that surround loss. It explores the strength it takes to make peace with the inevitable, and the love that continues even in the act of letting go," shares Raj Vasudeva, who plays the protagonist Shekhar in the film and is also the producer of the film. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The film stars Niharica Raizada as Shekhar's wife Jiya, Aparna Ghoshal as the ailing matriarch Sujata, Kunal Bhan as the emotionally conflicted brother Vihaan, and Adil Hussain, who brings depth and warmth to the role of Father Joel, the family's spiritual guide through their most testing hours. Adil Hussain further added, 'For me, Mercy is about that silent space where grief, love, and responsibility collide. It's about those moments where you're forced to make a decision not with your head, but with a heart that's breaking." The trailer of the film was exclusively unveiled at the Indian Pavilion during the Cannes Festival last year, offering an early glimpse into its poignant narrative and had received a very warm response. Produced under the Everclear Films banner by Raj Vasudeva and Anuradha Sachdev, Mercy follows their internationally recognized short film Forbidden, which boldly tackled honor killings and was featured at over 30 festivals across the globe. With Mercy, Everclear marks its feature film debut, staying true to its vision of telling brave, emotionally charged stories that spark reflection and empathy.
