This late afternoon/early evening show is a bit of a cherry on top, on top of the rua Dartz/Dune Rats R18 shows happening in Tamaki Makaurau and Poneke this weekend. An all-ages show, scheduled for, before the main event at 8pm. The scheduled doors at 4pm, didn’t actually happen until 5pm, for a show that […]
The skies were clear, but inside Auckland’s Powerstation, it was a different story—thick haze and fog engulfed the venue, setting the stage for an atmospheric night of dark RnB. Fans packed into the dimly lit space, buzzing with anticipation for the final stop of Artemas’ “You’re Really Early…” the tour.
The incredibly talented band, Highly Suspect, finished their tour for their recently released fifth album, As Above So Below at Spark arena in Auckland last night. I’m not sure who brought it harder, the band or their seriously dedicated fans.

Here is Simon Coffey’s review and subpar Photos (you can […]
On November 18, 2024, the Kiri te Kanawa Theatre in Tāmaki Makaurau hosted a third powerful evening filled with rich, resonant sounds as Heilung and Eivør took the stage. As the audience filed in, anticipation hung in the air, a palpable reminder of the historical and cultural tapestries that the evening would weave through music. […]
Tate McRae delivered a high-octane, non-stop performance at Spark Arena, thrilling fans with a 1-hour and 15-minute set that was equal parts emotion, energy, and spectacle. Seamlessly blending intricate choreography, powerful vocals, and visually stunning effects, McRae left both herself and the crowd breathless in one of the final nights of her Think Later tour.
