Eyegum presents GREAT SOUNDS GREAT, a multi-venue music and arts festival taking over Te Whanganui-a-Tara’s Te Aro precinct for one night only showcasing 40 of Aotearoa's best artists across 10 neighbouring venues. This is one big party you won’t wanna miss.
We have curated a programme that offers something for everyone, from first time gig-goers to seasoned live music obsessives. There will also be plenty more to be announced soon including more music, poetry, talks, and a roaming venue takeover.
Excitingly for 2026, we will be adding a new venue, the incomparable Meow Nui, helping to make this year’s event bigger and better than ever.
Limited tickets to Pōneke's biggest party on sale now.
