The landmark concert will honour Wellington’s rich cultural and musical legacy, with Drax Project returning to the city where they first captivated audiences as buskers on central Wellington’s streets, before launching a career that would see them become one of New Zealand’s most successful acts. Joining them on the bill is one of the city’s most beloved global names, Bret McKenzie, who will open the evening alongside his eight-piece Wellington-based band, The State Highway Wonders.
The show will also feature a host of surprise special guests throughout the night, including some of Drax Project’s favourite collaborators, inspirations and friends, creating a uniquely Wellington occasion and a celebration of the wider New Zealand music whānau.

Drax Project 2027 Ticket Tips
How do I purchase Accessible Seating tickets?
Accessible seats can be purchased by calling our Customer Service team on the Accessible Bookings line: 09 970 9711. This phone number is reserved for patrons with accessibility requirements and can not process any other ticketing requests. Accessible tickets, both during presales and the general public sale period, can also be requested via our Submit a request – Ticketmaster Help. Please be sure to include your relevant presale code with your request if wanting to make a booking during the presale period.
Venues are solely responsible for establishing their own accessible seating ticket policies. Availability and type of accessible seating tickets will vary by venue.
Will there be a queue in place prior to ticketing going on sale?
We expect that tickets to Drax Project will be in high demand, and to make the process fair for everyone you may be placed in a queue.
You will be assigned a random place in the queue once the onsale starts. Your place in the queue is not based on what time you entered the Waiting Room. We suggest entering the Waiting Room 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the Presale.
Once you get your spot in the queue, please do not refresh your browser as you will be pushed to the end of the line.
We will get you through the queue as quickly as possible, so please sit tight.
How will I receive tickets?
All tickets purchased through Ticketmaster are now digital, meaning you can easily access your tickets on your phone via the Ticketmaster app or mobile web browser via Ticketmaster.co.nz, add them straight to your phone’s ticket wallet, and share them with your friends and family.
Log into your Ticketmaster account and update your password if needed!
Get in early and ensure all your MyTicketmaster account details are up to date – from your password to your card details and your phone number.
Ticketmaster will regularly ask you to update your password to ensure the security of your account – you don’t want to get stuck having to change your password while the ticket timer is counting down during onsale as you can risk losing the incredible tickets you have secured.
Instead, now that you know you want to purchase tickets, log into your account and update your password today to ensure you are ready to nab those tickets.
