KID RADIO

Auckland Band For Hire for weddings and events

Kid Radio are unlike any other Auckland covers band. Their songlist contains no trace of the tired pub hits of yesteryear. Instead, they’ve assembled a repertoire loaded with nothing but pure dynamite - the jams that other bands can’t touch.

After a few years of setting Auckland dancefloors alight and filling the place to capacity every Friday night at Sale Street with The Beat Council, core members Michal, Steve and Sam left that band to form Kid Radio in 2014. The band quickly established themselves as one of Auckland’s top corporate and wedding bands.
