It's been a few years since the smooth sounds of Katchafire last played in Rotorua.
But tonight's performance at Kalah Bar in Ngongotaha is set to remind people why they have always been a crowd favourite.
The all-Maori reggae group have been performing nationally as part of their Down With You Winter tour before heading off to Europe and Australia. They're set to showcase some of their favourite hits over the years and show off a few new band members in their group.
Kalah Bar co-owner Janina Khan said Katchafire had not played in Rotorua since 2011.
"The atmosphere is always good and the reason why they have been around for so long is they bring such a professional standard onstage," she said.
"We're really looking forward to the show."
Ms Khan said the group was expected on-stage about 9.30pm to 10pm so other events on in Rotorua tonight, like the Chiefs rugby game, shouldn't clash.
