- **Event Name**: Great Sounds Great festival 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm (+12:00)
- **Event Description**: Eyegum Music Collective presents GREAT SOUNDS GREAT, a multi-venue music and arts festival taking over Pōneke's Te Aro precinct for one night only on Saturday 5 September 2026. Showcasing 40 of Aotearoa's best artists across 10 neighbouring venues, this is one big party you shouldn't miss.

Eyegum has worked hard to curate a programme that is sure to offer something for everyone, from first time gig-goers to seasoned live music obsessives. The eclectic lineup includes national treasures like Bic Runga and Savage, heavy-hitting legends Beastwars, Kody Nielson’s enigmatic project Silicon, indie math rockers So So Modern, powerhouse party starter Mokotron, local hip hop sensation MĀ, and everything in between. 

Tonic Collective are back with an impeccably curated lineup for their travelling stage, which includes Pitch Black celebrating 30 years as Aotearoa electronica pioneers and award winning sonic explorer Amamelia. 

It's not all music, three of our best poets Chris Tse, Dani Yourukova, and Jackson McCarthy will also perform.

Excitingly for 2026, we are adding a new venue, the incomparable Meow Nui, helping make this year's event bigger and better than ever. We are also throwing a warm-up party, The Night Before, across three venues in Newtown village on Friday 4 September. This will showcase 12 incredible up-and-coming artists and is the perfect way to prepare for the main event.

Ticket holders will receive a wristband that will give them access to each of the participating venues throughout the event. Information on how to pick up wristbands will be provided to ticket holders closer to the time.
