Auckland’s Ultimate Music Weekend

Mark your calendars—Mānuka Phuel SYNTHONY Festival returns to Auckland on 29 March 2025 for an electrifying night of music! Combining a live orchestra with DJs and vocalists, this iconic event promises an unforgettable experience under the stars. But why let the fun end there? Auckland’s nightlife, music venues, and cultural hotspots ensure the rhythm runs all weekend long. From record shopping and rooftop DJs to thrift stores and cosy music bars, this guide has everything you need to plan a music-filled Auckland weekend.

Karangahape Road

Kick off your SYNTHONY weekend on K’ Road, Auckland’s hub for all things eclectic. Known for its vintage and thrift stores, it’s the perfect place to find a unique outfit to wear to the big event. After the concert, return to K’ Road to explore its buzzing nightlife, where lively bars, clubs, and live music venues keep the energy alive into the early hours. Whether you’re shopping or dancing, K’ Road is a must-visit for music lovers.

Kemuri Hi-Fi

For a laid-back music experience, head to Kemuri Hi-Fi, a Japanese-inspired bar that celebrates great tunes, fine whiskey and crafted cocktails. With a focus on vinyl and an intimate atmosphere, Kemuri Hi-Fi is a hidden gem where you can soak in sound in its purest form. Whether you’re winding down after SYNTHONY or gearing up for another night out, this basement Commercial Bay spot is the perfect blend of chill vibes and sophisticated sounds.

Nami Record Bar

Step into Nami Record Bar, a haven for vinyl enthusiasts and cocktail connoisseurs. This cosy Ponsonby gem serves up craft cocktails and delicious small bites, all set to a carefully curated soundtrack of vintage and modern hits. With its sleek, retro vibe and love for all things music, Nami creates an inviting atmosphere for unwinding and connecting. Whether you're admiring the vinyl collection or soaking up the tunes with friends, Nami is the ultimate spot for music lovers.

Goblin

Just across the road, Goblin offers an entirely different, yet equally captivating, music experience. This edgy dive bar has an air of mystery and charm, with dim lighting, eclectic decor, and a playlist that never misses. Whether you’re dancing to the beats or enjoying the energy with a drink in hand, Goblin’s laid-back vibe and killer tunes captures the spirit of Ponsonby’s music scene and is the perfect place for keeping the SYNTHONY energy alive.

Real Groovy

No music lover’s weekend is complete without a stop at Real Groovy, Auckland’s iconic record store. Browse their extensive collection of vinyl, CDs, and memorabilia to discover new favourites or add to your collection. With its treasure trove of music history, Real Groovy is more than a shop, it’s a cultural experience. You may be a seasoned collector or you could just be dipping your toes into vinyl, either way, we’re sure you’ll find something in this store that strikes the right chord.
