AUCKLAND HOT 5 - FEBRUARY 2019



KEEP THE FRINGE
Auckland Fringe is the catalyst for the most exciting, outrageous and unique events in the Auckland cultural calendar. It’s a festival with bite, providing experiences to satisfy the most discerning of creative palates. With a programme that’s open access and non-curated, there’s truly something for everyone to sink their teeth into.



LILY, GEORGE, AQUA and LOU BEGA!
February sees a diverse range of performers hitting our shores just to keep the summer vibe going. The incomparable George Ezra and a smorgasboard of 90’s heavyweights performing under the So Pop banner.



THE CIRCUS IS COMING TO TOWN
Cirque du Soleil rediscovers its origins with the company’s first Big Top show since Totem in 2014. Presented in a colorful mélange, KOOZA springs open like a bejeweled toy box to capture the audience’s imagination and set their pulse racing. Sheer human effort - performance in its rawest, purest form - is showcased in all its splendor and fragility.



CHINESE NEW YEAR
The biggest day on the 2019 Chinese calendar takes place on February 5 – Chinese New Year. Celebrate the Year of the Pig through a whole host of events taking place in and around the city; from Art Installations in Britomart and food trucks at Chancery Square to festivities galore at SKCITY.
