Six60 & Synthony To Headline at Christchurch’s One NZ Stadium

Aotearoa’s biggest live acts are coming together for an unforgettable moment in New Zealand music history. Six60 and Synthony will headline the first ever live concert, Once In A Lifetime at the country’s newest premier venue One NZ Stadium in the heart of Christchurch.

Taking place on Saturday 16 May 2026, this event promises to be an occasion not only for Cantabrians, but for all New Zealanders. Fans from across the country will have the chance to be part of history, to say ‘I was there’ celebrating the opening of a new national landmark in true Aotearoa style.

Tickets go on sale Thursday 11 December at midday from ticketmaster.co.nz

The evening presented by Mānuka Phuel in association with Kiwibank, will feature a full Six60 set with new music alongside their chart-topping classics, a full Synthony set showcasing their signature orchestral-electronic experience, and a special collaborative finale where Six60 and Synthony unite on stage for a powerful performance of Six60’s biggest songs reimagined with the full Synthony experience.

For Six60, this milestone marks another defining chapter in their record-breaking live history. The band are no strangers to firsts. The only New Zealand band to headline their own stadium tour, the first Kiwi act to play Western Springs, and the first to ever perform at Eden Park. Now, they’ll make history once again as the first act to headline the brand new One New Zealand Stadium. In a fitting full-circle moment, Christchurch also holds a special place in the band’s history, it was the first city to ever book Six60 for a live gig.

“It’s a real honour for us to play the first ever show at Christchurch’s One New Zealand Stadium. Christchurch has backed us from day one, it was the first ever city to book us for a live gig, so being able to open a venue built for its future is really special. We can’t wait to put on a night that Christchurch deserves.” – Six60

Synthony – the genre-defying phenomenon has taken the world by storm.

Their massive outdoor shows have become a must-see on the live calendar, uniting fans across generations in a euphoric celebration of electronic music.
