Music in the Square

No longer available

Aotea Square

Music

It wouldn’t be Auckland Live Summer in the Square without a sensational music line-up, and this summer is no exception. Music-man extraordinaire, Matthew Crawley has gone and blown us all out of the water with an eclectic range of musical acts to enjoy in Aotea Square, ranging from electro-pop from Glasgow, raucous sing-a-longs, a special 95bFM Kids live broadcast, live disco, and so much more! 

And of course, we’re bringing back a whole week dedicated to a wide range of folk music courtesy of folk aficionado and curator, Finn McLenann-Elliott. Musical favourites will include Fables, Ethno NZ, Gitbox Rebellion, and Donna Dean, to name just a few.  

If you’re a music nerd like us, or you simply love a cool beverage in the sun while the sweet sounds of live music sizzle in the background, make sure you come on down to the square and make the most of our free music programme. It’s going to be a scorcher!
