With 45 acts, five stages and a stunning harbour vistas the Capital’s best day out for music fans promised a great party to close off an exceptional summer.

An Audience member cuts Rag’n’Bone man to the bone at his Auckland concert in Spark Arena… But the booming baritone shut the heckler down like a boss.
