Crowd favourites The Johnnys have been announced as the headline act for Wellington’s Out in the Park 2015. The group is an all-girl Johnny Cash tribute band, from Nelson. They were a feature of the 2013 Auckland Pride Festival and have just been touring with the Topp Twins. Out in the Park is the rebranded version of Out in the Square, Wellington’s lgbti fair. The new name reflects its move to Waitangi Park, where it will have room to expand. Co-chair Virginia Parker-Bowles says the team is proud to have secured the band for the event. “Their live show is energetic and cheeky – they have so much fun with the audience,” she says. “And you don’t have to know any of the songs to enjoy them, they’ll even teach them to you and get you to sing along.” Out in the Park 2015 will be held on Saturday 14 February 2015 with drag duo Buffy
