This December, the Come Together Big Bash 2025 will ignite New Zealand stages with the ultimate Kiwi vs Oz rock showdown. For one massive night in each city, a supergroup of Aotearoa’s best rock musicians will unleash the biggest hits from both sides of the Tasman in an all-out end-of-year rock fest.
Expect wall-to-wall anthems from AC/DC, Split Enz, Cold Chisel, DD Smash, INXS, Silverchair, Hello Sailor and more – the songs that have defined generations, blasted stereos, and packed stadiums.
Joining forces for this epic battle are:
- Jennie Skulander (Devilskin)
- Milan Borich (PLUTO)
- EJ Barnes (Jimmy Barnes)
- Seamus Johnson (Seamouse)
…plus more to be announced.
They’ll be backed by the powerhouse Come Together Band: musical director Jol Mulholland, alongside Brett Adams, Matthias Jordan, Mike Hall, and Alistair Deverick.
For decades, Kiwis and Aussies have traded bands, stages, and stadium tours. Now, it’s time to settle the score the only way that matters — with a night of unrelenting, unapologetic rock.
And the audience isn’t just along for the ride — you’re part of the action. Fans can help shape the setlist by voting for the songs they want to hear in the Kiwi vs Oz showdown.

This is the ultimate end-of-year blowout — a chance to scream, sweat, and celebrate with some of New Zealand’s greatest musicians performing the biggest rock hits of all time.
So, who truly owns rock?
Is it the swagger of Aussie pub rock, or the grit and heart of Kiwi anthems? You decide.
The Come Together Big Bash 2025 caps off an epic year for the juggernaut series, which has already seen thousands of fans pack venues for Neil Young’s Live Rust, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and, next month, the hotly anticipated Led Zep II.
Born five years ago in the isolation of a world turned upside down, Come Together began as a bold celebration of legendary rock albums. It has since grown into one of New Zealand’s most electrifying live concert experiences. With a powerhouse collective of the country’s finest musicians, the series has drawn more than 50,000 fans nationwide and earned critical acclaim, cementing its place as a must-see on the music calendar.
