The band, who split eight years ago, will headline the Vodafone Homegrown festival, held on Wellington's Waterfront on March 14, 2009.
HLAH were known for their outrageous live performances, appearing on stage either naked, caked with mud, or covered completely in body paint.
They produced four albums over 10 years, with hits including Comfortably Shagged, Wet Rubber, Hootnanny, Juicy Lucy and the covers I’m on Fire and Summer Nights.
In a statment, the band's front man Nigel 'Booga' Beazley said the band split in 2003 for "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll reasons”.
Head Like a Hole are the latest Kiwi band to reform, following news that Headless Chickens will reunite for a show at The Powerstation in November.
Weta will also perform two shows in November.
Vodafone Homegrown's full line-up will be released on October 6."
Yet another kiwi band I can't wait to see because I was too damn young the first time around.
I saw HLAH play in Palmerston North about the same time. Our band watched through the side window because we didn't have $10 each for the door charge. HLAH were loud and in various stages of undress. One of them said "I'm not taking off my shirt tonight because I haven't been working out."
