The University of Auckland has organised an exclusive music concert to welcome first-year students, and celebrate returning students. Held during the first week of Semester One, it is the ultimate concert to kick off 2012.
We have secured New Zealand’s top band, The Naked and Famous to headline the event. There will be several awesome support acts added to the line up soon, so keep checking back for more details!
The concert will be a smoke-free event, and entry is by Student ID or ticket only. There will be a licensed area at the venue so don’t forget your ID. To register, see the detailed Orientation Concert page.
The Naked and Famous
New Zealand indie electronic ensemble the Naked and Famous make driving, melodic pop with an '80s post-punk influence. Centered around the talents of vocalist Alisa Xayalith and instrumentalist/vocalist Thom Powers, the band formed in 2008 and released two EPs before adding members to play live. In 2010 they released their debut album, Passive Me, Aggressive You, featuring the number one single "Young Blood."
