The Mānuka Phuel SYNTHONY Festival 2025 is New Zealand’s biggest one-day music event, happening on Saturday, 29 March 2025 at Pukekawa, Auckland Domain. This sold-out festival welcomes 40,000 music lovers for an unforgettable day of live orchestral performances, world-class DJs, and top vocalists across two massive stages.
At the heart of the festival is the world premiere of SYNTHONY No.6, where the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Sarah-Grace Williams, re-imagines legendary dance anthems with the power of a full symphony. Joining them are star performers including P Digsss, Kings, Emily Williams, Masha Mnjoyan, Tiki Taane, and more.
The main stage also features global icons like Basement Jaxx (DJ set), Darude, Cyril, Example, alongside local favorites Kora, Ladi6, and Th’ Dudes. A dedicated Pepsi DJ Stage keeps the energy alive with sets from Pixie Lane × Kazi Flip, Dan Aux, Jordan Eskra, Ruby Lee, and Murry Sweetpants.
With stunning light shows, immersive visuals, and an electric crowd, this festival is more than a concert—it’s a full sensory experience that blends electronic dance culture with orchestral brilliance.
