Somethin’ Else

Get ready for another unforgettable weekend of jazz, hip hop, house music and more - celebrating Auckland’s world-class music scene alongside the freshest local and international talent. This year, the Somethin' Else feels are expanding from Aotea Square to the Hunua Rooms in the Aotea Centre!

Catch headline performances from Melbourne's 30/70 Collective and Close Counters with returning local jazz heavyweights The Circling Sun and the Joe Kaptein Band, joined on the line up by the mighty Flamingo Pier, Christoph El Truento & Lucky Lance, Bikes in Space and the Carnivorous Plant Society. On top of that, the party is being laid down by some of our finest DJs, including Frank Booker, Nathan Haines, Hudge, Rose Alice, Cian, Lucola, Slippa (UK), Nathan Graves and 95bFM legends Sam Harmony and the Love Language crew.

As the city’s heart hums with music and positive vibes, audiences can expect sunny afternoons and balmy evenings packed with big tunes, legendary collaborations, and the signature festival atmosphere Aotea Square is known for. 

Schedule dropping in January – stay jazzed!
