Friday Jams Live announce 2022 lineup with Macklemore, TLC, Akon, and more
We're already thinking about all the singalongs...
After a two-year hiatus, ZM’s Friday Jams Live is back with a lineup so HUGE it has to be seen to be believed.
Leading the way for instalment number four is none other than multi-platinum and Grammy award winning artist Macklemore. At this point, we’re sure he needs no introduction, but just in case you need to be reminded – with more than 12.8 billion combined streams to date, Macklemore is one of the most successful independent artists of the 21st century.
And with hit singles including ‘Thrift Shop’ ft. Ryan Lewis & Wanz, ‘Same Love’ ft. Mary Lambert, ‘Can’t Hold Us’ ft. Ryan Lewis & Ray Dalton, ‘Good Old Days’ ft. Kesha, and a stack more, you aren’t going to want to miss his set.

If you thought that was it though, guess again. Because Friday Jams Live 2022 is delivering the goods for its return. Macklemore will be joined by American girl group TLC who scored nine top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 throughout the ’90s including ‘Waterfalls’, ‘No Scrubs’, and ‘Creep’.
The one, the only, Mr Lonely aka Grammy-nominated producer and artist Akon will also be heading our way, alongside Grammy-Award winner Ashanti, Diamond-selling dancehall and reggae icon Shaggy, Bhangra-R&B fusion artist Jay Sean, American R&B powerhouse group Dru Hill, American rapper and singer Lumidee, one of Australia’s greatest musical exports Havana Brown, and of course international party DJ YO! MAFIA.
So, what we’re saying is, you might get to singalong to ‘Thrift Shop’, ‘No Scrubs’, ‘I Wanna Love You’, ‘7 Days’, ‘Rock Wit U’, ‘It Wasn’t Me’, ‘Ride It’, ‘In My Bed’, ‘We Run The Night’ and MORE all in the same night.
Truly iconic.

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.

Get to know Ticketmaster’s Smart Queue
If you aren’t familiar with Smart Queue, it is Ticketmaster’s way of creating a clear and fair process for thousands of fans to buy tickets in a short space of time. Fans enter the virtual Waiting Room prior to onsale time before joining the Smart Queue – which acts as a ‘virtual line’, helping us protect you and your tickets in a more effective way.
The time you join the Waiting Room does not determine your place in the Smart Queue, so we recommend joining at least 10 minutes prior to the event going on sale.
When the sale begins, the Smart Queue will open and everyone in the Waiting Room is given a place in line. Those who did not join the Waiting Room will be placed at the end of the line.
- Sign in to your Ticketmaster account at least 10 minutes before joining the Waiting Room. This will speed up your purchase later.
- Confirm you have a valid form of payment in your account with current email and billing information. This will make checkout a breeze.
- Resist the urge to refresh. Your page will automatically refresh when you enter the Smart Queue.
- Keep an eye on the time! When it’s your turn, your spot will be held for 10 minutes to begin shopping.
- Just like before, tickets are always based on availability, demand, and are not guaranteed.

Hints and tips for improving your chances of getting Friday Jams Live tickets
Make sure you have a My Ticketmaster account
Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance – Ticketmaster.co.nz
Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time
Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.
Keep your options open with ‘Best Available’
Save time by searching “Best Available,” which scans all sections fast – it’s quicker than searching sections one at a time.
Keep an eye on the clock
There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as they’re progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).
Don’t refresh your screen
Stick to one window while you’re in the Waiting Room and when you’re being pushed through the Smart Queue and always resist the urge to refresh.
Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.
Remember: there are a lot of fans
We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is this popular, sometimes they go very quickly.
Be sure to follow the above tips to ensure you have the best chance of snapping up some tickets.
Friday Jams Live 2022, featuring Macklemore, TLC, Akon, Ashanti, Jeremih, Shaggy, and more, will tour New Zealand this November. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.co.nz
