Kim Dotcom has pushed rewind on the Internet Party party, after Electoral Commission advice led to the last attempt being canned.
At the internet mogul’s second shot at hosting the event concertgoers will pay to see musicians including Sons of Zion, State of Mind, Optimus Gryme, Kamandi, PNC, L.A.B (Laughton and Brad Kora) and have the chance to meet “special guest” Dotcom.
The ill-fated party of January this year was cancelled after the Electoral Commission advised Dotcom free entry meant the purpose of the event could be “misunderstood” and seen as a bid to sway voters. More than 25,000 people had registered.
“Party Party is basically reborn,” Dotcom said.
“The last time it didn’t happen because the tickets were free and the Electoral Commission warned me that if the event would go ahead, even if I mentioned the Internet Party launch for just for a minute, it might be considered treating,” he explains.
After a pow-wow with his lawyers he pulled the plug for the party that had just been moved to the Vector Arena.
