On this night of nights it's all about whakapapa and groovy home-grown sounds.

Aotearoa's fantastic musical past is rocketed into the future in this epic concert, as classic Māori anthems take centre stage for all New Zealanders to enjoy. From Tūtira Mai Nga Iwi to Blue Smoke, these golden waiata are redressed in all the finery offered by today's outstanding New Zealand musicians.

Modern-day musos with old school charm continue the legacy of iconic Māori maestros such as Howard Morrison, Prince Tui Teka and Billy T James. In these deeply-Antipodean versions of 60s and 70s chart toppers, even Ten Guitars comes to life in psychedelic splendour with 10 top guitarists.

It'll be a surprising night filled with wonderfully revitalised renditions of all your favourite hits from The Yoots!, Annie Crummer, Maisey Rika, Anika Moa, Will Crummer and The Rarotongans, Ria Hall, Seth Haapu, Hinewehi Mohi, Te Waka Huia, St Joseph's Māori Girls' School and the legendary John Rowles.

Get your glad rags on, your song sheets out and get into it, New Zealand.

# In a nutshell: Kiwi crooners, class acts and good times.
