Unite and Stand as a Nation to Reclaim the Haka World Record. The Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust, in partnership with the Eden Park Trust, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited and other event sponsors is proud to invite you to an event of a lifetime.

Aotearoa is the home of the world-famous haka, but surprisingly the Official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title for the largest haka is currently held by 4,028 individuals from France.

If you’ve witnessed or been a part of a haka, you would have experienced the overwhelming emotion that washes over you. It’s the mana. Imagine that with 10,000 people standing shoulder to shoulder.

On Sunday 29th of September, you are invited with your friends and family to stand as a nation to bring the record and the mana back to Aotearoa.

This momentous occasion will be joined by some of Aotearoa’s most celebrated musicians featuring - Anika Moa, Che Fu, Corrella, Hollie Smith, Kings, Majic, Paige, Ria Hall, Robb Ruha, Shepherds Reign, Tami Neilson, Topp Twins.

This historic event will raise funds for the Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust, delivering life-changing music therapy to those who need it most.

Local tip

He tīwhiri mō te rohe

Take the train for the easiest access, especially during major events. Arrive early to explore Kingsland’s bars and eateries, or visit during Eden Park’s free Open Day weekends, which are great for families and children.
The stadium is largely cashless, so bring an EFTPOS or contactless payment method for food, drinks and merchandise.

Getting there

Te huarahi ki reira

Eden Park is located in Kingsland, around 10–15 minutes from central Auckland.
Public transport is the easiest way to get there, with regular trains running from Waitematā Station to Kingsland Station, just a short walk from the stadium. Bus routes also service the area, with additional options available on event days, see Auckland Transport (AT) for details.
There is no general public parking on major event days, and surrounding streets are often restricted, so planning ahead is recommended.
