In celebration of NZ Music Month, a new musical experience is coming to the heart of the city, and it’s not what you’d expect. From Tuesday 26 May to Sunday 1 June, a custom-built mini theatre called Mighty will pop up in Te Komititanga, offering the most intimate live gigs you’ll find anywhere in Aotearoa. Completely free.
Line up, step in, and experience the magic of music in a whole new way.
Built around a 10-foot shipping container and clad to look like an old-fashioned theatre -complete with red velvet curtains, a rug and a standing lamp – Mighty offers front-row seats to unforgettable performances from some of our most talented songwriters.
Each show invites just 4–6 people at a time into the cosy interior, where they’ll hear one song, performed totally live and completely acoustic. No mics. No tech tricks. Just voice and guitar or keys.
With 20 performances over the week and a line-up of exceptional local talent, there’s a twist: while all performers will be announced in advance, their set times will stay secret. It’s songwriter roulette, designed to surprise and delight.
Some of our brightest lights and rising stars will be performing, including Tiny Ruins, Anna Coddington, Julia Deans, Lips, Romi Wrights, Phoebe Rings, Jazmine Mary, HINA, PARK RD, Rewind Fields, Jol Mulholland + more.
Mighty celebrates the power of a single song, shared in person.
Live. Acoustic. Solo.
Mighty is a love letter to live music, reminding us that sometimes the smallest stages create
the biggest moments.
