About this Event

SOUTH SIDE, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU 🔊

From Māngere to Manurewa, Papakura to Favona, Ōtara to Papatoetoe — some of South Auckland’s most talented emerging artists are taking the stage for one night only.

As part of Youth Week 2026 and NZ Music Month, we’re celebrating the voices, creativity and talent of our young people through live music and community connection.

Navigators is a youth music development programme supporting young creatives to grow their artistry, confidence and live performance skills — and this showcase is a celebration of the work they’ve been building.

Expect live performances from the next wave of South Auckland talent, local merch for sale, and a free sausage sizzle while we bring the community together through music 🎤🔥

Big love to:
🖤 OMAC for backing our young people and giving us a space to share our talents
🖤 Sounds of Tāmaki Makaurau for revitalising NZ Music Month with live events across the city
🖤 Our South Navigators facilitators for preparing and mentoring these young artists for the stage

Come through and represent your area code.
