Description
Cross Street Music Festival celebrates the unique culture, creativity, and sense of place that make Karangahape one of Auckland's most distinctive neighbourhoods. Showcasing its independent spirit and creative edge, the festival brings together music, art, food, and community to reflect the energy and character that define the precinct.
This year’s theme is INFINITY to celebrate our 8th annual showcase of NZ music.
Eight years in, Infinity celebrates the endless energy, creativity and connection that flow through Cross Street and Karangahape Road — a world without limits, where music, art, culture and people connect in unexpected ways.
Infinite Sound · Infinite Movement · Infinite Connections · Infinite Possibilities.
Since 2018, Cross Street has transformed into a buzzing playground of live music, art, street activations, great food, and unexpected moments, bringing artists, locals, creatives, and music lovers together for an unforgettable day and night.
Born from the independent, expressive, and rebellious spirit of K' Road, the festival shines a light on the artists, businesses, and communities that make this neighbourhood one of Tāmaki Makaurau's most iconic creative hubs.
From emerging talent and established Aotearoa artists to visual art, local flavour, and moments you won't find anywhere else, Cross Street is more than a music festival, it's a celebration of the streets, the stories, and the people who make this place home.
Come discover the creative edge of Auckland. Feel the energy, hear the stories, and be part of a festival where music is the heartbeat and everyone is welcome.
