Sau Fiafia! Boogie Down!

Free

Aotea Square

Music

Join us to kick off the 2026 Auckland Arts Festival with a FREE music gathering in Aotea Square!

Throw on your dancing shoes and boogie down to the funky, soulful rhythms of Island Vibes. Let it all out and dance like nobody’s watching, then head to an opening night show or the Festival Garden in the golden hour sunlight — good vibes guaranteed!

A nine-piece, multi-cultural Pacific funk band, Island Vibes return by popular demand after their feel-good 2025 AAF debut, performing groove classics and original tracks in their signature, foot-tapping, hip-moving style.
