Welcome To The Gun Show is a New Zealand music programme which airs on Alt TV, Sky Digital 65. The show is produced by former Lynfield College student Johnathon Leyland.

Format

The show is designed to support and showcase up and coming young bands. The format of the show consists of performances by bands in their rehearsal venues, and a live in-studio interview.

The Welcome To The Gun Show website states that their philosophy is -

By providing an outlet for these young people to showcase their talents, we validate who they are as individuals and their passion and energy for what they are doing. We support them to grow in their autonomy and empower them by encouraging them to develop a sense of ownership over their own style and creativity. Hence the name of our show: we believe they are all our nation’s young guns.
