We’re bringing the biggest hits from both sides of the ditch to one stage:
AC/DC. Split Enz. Cold Chisel. The Datsun’s. INXS. DD Smash. Silverchair. Australian Crawl. Hello Sailor. And that’s just for starters.
For decades, we’ve traded bands and songs across the Tasman. Now, we’re putting it all to the test: Who truly owns rock?
Is it the swagger of Aussie pub rock? The grit and heart of Kiwi anthems? You decide.
Our Come Together supergroup — packed with some of New Zealand’s most iconic rock musicians — will tear through these legendary tracks in an all-out rock fest that will have you singing and partying like it’s the end of the year (because it is!).
And here’s the kicker: you help shape the setlist, and when the amps power down, you vote for which nation takes home the crown.
This is more than a concert — it’s a massive celebration of the music we grew up on, the songs that built us, and the riffs that still get us moving. Grab your mates, grab your tickets, and get ready to make some noise.
Rock doesn’t get better than this!
Proudly part of the Auckland Council whānau
