Auckland venue The Tuning Fork is celebrating its 8th birthday with a very special series of events this June.

The inaugural Birthday Series will see four of the biggest acts in Aotearoa play intimate sets in this storied venue, nestled in the wing of the almighty Spark Arena.

See The Beths, Jakob and The Phoenix Foundation up close and personal; laugh your pants off at the hotly anticipated comedy night; and delight the littlies at Anika Moa’s Songs for Bubbas family show.

Since launching as a venue in 2013, The Tuning Fork has championed the local music industry, providing a platform for both local and international artists to showcase their talent.

Having been transformed from a pre-show bar for Spark Arena into a standout venue in its own right, it has traditionally been a home to country, folk and americana, hosting standout performances from Justin Townes Earle, Tony Joe White, Jason Isbell and Margo Price along the way.

The Birthday Series also offers the venue an opportunity to showcase its recent rebrand. Now visible across all marketing collateral, the new logo design references the motion of soundwaves and The Tuning Fork’s focus on high quality audio at its shows.

Tickets to all Birthday Series shows go on sale at 9am on Monday 10 May and are expected to move quickly. Join the waitlist on Moshtix.
