4YP has been around for a while now... in fact the project enters its teenage years in 2008.  Like any adolescent, 4YP is undergoing change.  When the Christchurch City Council Youth Entertainment project was launched in 1995 the goal was to run 15 events each year.  Now 4YP presents over 75 events annually.

4YP is growing up.  Last year over 23 000 young people attended 4YP events with concerts becoming a big part of what 4YP does.
