Six60 to Play First Concert at New Zealand International Convention Centre

Six60 are opening a new Aotearoa venue.

The Dunedin-born band will open the Te Paepae Theatre, New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) on Friday, February 13th, the first concert Auckland's brand-new venue has ever seen.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday, January 22nd at 12pm local time. Ticket information is available here.

“Hosting Six60 as the first ticketed live show at the NZICC is an exciting moment for SkyCity and New Zealand’s live entertainment scene," Jason Walbridge, SkyCity CEO, says.

"NZICC was designed to be more than a convention centre; it was created to be a space that adapts and transforms. Te Paepae theatre is the perfect example of that flexibility. With its retractable seating, it can shift seamlessly from a conference setting to a world-class concert venue. We can’t wait to see Six60 and its fans make history as they bring the NZICC to life.”

The concert will take place on album release day for Six60, with the newly announced Right Here Right Now set to drop on February 13th.

Attendees will be able to purchase the new record on vinyl at the event, and fans can pre-order to secure their vinyl before the night here.

Right Here Right Now sees the band reconnect with the raw, roots-driven energy that first put them on the map, while carrying the confidence and clarity earned through years at the top.

Recorded entirely live, with every final track captured in a single take, Right Here Right Now is the band at their most immediate and unfiltered.

”We are at the top of our game, And I feel like I was born to sing these songs! Pure, real and heart felt. Six60 at its best," said lead singer Matiu Walter.

"Recorded in only 3 days, The process was old school. Full band single takes. We are returning to our Roots music origins, and the music feels natural, uncomplicated, and relatable. Four chords and the truth."
