Change and Impact: The Future of Tāmaki Music Venues

Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries

Show Notes

The Encore! exhibition looks at ways connection happens through live music: being emotionally moved by a performance, connections between those on stage and those in the crowd, and the feeling of being connected to others in a music community. Some featured music venues in the exhibition include the Auckland Town Hall, Powerstation, Galaxy, Temple Bar, Crystal Palace and more.

Join us for a conversation on how central Auckland venues have influenced the city over time, and what challenges and opportunities will define their future role.

This panel talk consists of some well-known names such as Taylor MacGregor, Savina Fountain, MP Chlöe Swarbrick, and will be moderated by 95bFM breakfast host Rosetta Stone. Come listen to this fascinating kōrero on the future of our music scene in the city.

Recorded Live on April 18, 2026. This Tāmaki Untold talk was part of the 'Opening Act" programming and was held at the Whare Wānanga, Tāmaki Pātaka Kōrero | Central City Library Introduction by Julian Backing Track is Coffee Talk by Dusty Melody
