Led by Aotearoa musical heavyweights Jason Te Mete and Tom Knowles, you’ll be divided into two teams, armed with iconic songs and challenged to belt out the choruses in an epic musical showdown. From Christmas classics to feel-good carols, expect plenty of laughter, friendly rivalry, and a whole lot of joyful noise.
Whether you’re a shower-singer, a back-row-of-the-choir-type, or a fully-fledged pop diva, you’re invited. This is a celebration of music, connection and the magic that happens when we all sing and celebrate the silly season together.
Check out all the festivities happening throughout December and come along to Auckland Live Christmas in Aotea Square.
