Music News - We ❤ Aotearoa is back with an unmissable line-up

We ❤ Aotearoa is back with an unmissable line-up

12 November 2020 - 0 Comments

We Love Aotearoa is back and bigger than ever, with an unmissable line-up of celebrations set to take place next month.

This free series of events will take place on Saturday, December 19th at ASB Showgrounds in Auckland with an added day of virtual reality experiences on Sunday, December 20th. The event will host a range of activities, performances, and workshops to bring the fun to all ages.

The We Love Aotearoa series has been organised by a group of international travellers who found themselves based in Auckland during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During their stay, they have been overwhelmed by the manaakitanga and aroha they have received from the people of Aotearoa. These events are a “thank you to the people of New Zealand” for their efforts to get us to where we are now.

While We Love Aotearoa was postponed from its original date in August due to COVID-19 lockdowns, the group has set a new date to wrap up the year in style on December 19th and 20th.

We Love Aotearoa is happening in three parts: entry and activities are all FREE. Food, beverages and artist merch will be available for purchase on-site.

Drift-racing legend Darren Kelly and friends will be on-site, along with their cars, to chat with fans, sign autographs, take photos, and show their stuff!
