A Rolling Stone is Christchurch's premier live music venue, sitting in the heart of the central city at 579 Colombo Street, next to Musicworks and South City Mall. Owned and operated by Mike and Gretchen Kane, both of whom bring years of live music, performance, and hospitality industry experience to the venue, A Rolling Stone has established itself as a beloved gathering place for music lovers of all tastes.
The venue hosts a wide variety of live acts spanning all genres — from local legends to national touring acts and international stars. First-class professional staging, sound, and lighting equipment ensures every performance sounds and looks its best, whether you're there for a rock headliner, a jazz night, or a comedy show.
Beyond live music, A Rolling Stone prides itself on being an inclusive and diverse space with something for everyone. Quiz nights, dancing, and stand-up comedy all feature in the programme. The venue serves a dinner menu and is renowned for pouring what they claim to be the best pint of Guinness in town.
The venue has attracted international praise. Acclaimed UK pianist Ben Waters — who has played with Jeff Beck, The Rolling Stones, Ray Davies, and Chuck Berry — described it as "a gem of a venue" after performing there. A Rolling Stone is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves live entertainment in Christchurch.
