CHURCH presents PRIDE 2026

A night shaped by community, intention, and the freedom to show up as your whole self.

For Pride 2026 we are bringing something truly special. Pilar and Haley are flying all the way from San Francisco to join us. Many of us first came to know them through the Netflix series The Ultimatum Queer Love, where their honesty, kindness, and realness captured the hearts of queer people everywhere. Since then we have followed their journey closely and felt the impact they carry as a couple and as individuals.

Pilar arrives as our headliner. A DJ and producer raised in music, creating edits, remixes, and original tracks from her home studio with a sound that transforms the room. She is powerful, skilled, and unmistakably herself behind the decks. Haley brings her own presence and warmth. The grounded energy that made so many of us love her from the moment she appeared on screen. To have both of them in our space is an honour.

Pride at CHURCH is not just an event. It is a ritual. A gathering of our chosen family. A celebration of queerness, joy, and the communities that hold us. Expect a room built on colour, intention, and connection. Music that moves you. People who feel like home. A night designed with care for every person who walks through our doors.

We will release a limited number of Meet and Greet tickets for those who want to meet Pilar and Haley before the set and share a moment together.

Come as you are. Stand with us. Celebrate with us. Let the night carry you.

Summit Touring & Notion Touring present: Osmosis Jones



Emerging from Melbourne's thriving electronic scene, is UKG sensation Osmosis Jones, making his Auckland debut on Friday 13th February.



As a proper selector, OJ's sets are filled with the underground energy of UKG and speed garage, with a nod to the classic old school sounds. Dubbed as one of Interplanetary Criminals' favorite producers, OJ's signature 'suave' and 'bumpy' sound has featured on labels like ATW and ec2a, as well as being staples in countless sets around the globe.

The Support Your Local Collective is honored to present Neffa‑T once again! 7th Feb – Auckland, Neck Of The Woods There really aren’t many people out there who are as respected in Bristol as they are in Croydon and as they are in Berlin – well Neffa T is that guy pal. When you’re a legend in Dubstep, Grime and Techno, this outcome is natural – along with worldwide love from the heads in all those scenes. Neffa had his NZ debut in April 2024 with us, and since then he made a triumphant return alongside the legendary Flowdan for the 24‑25 festival season. Now, he’s coming back to return to where he truly shines: the club. We are thrilled to have him at none other than Neck Of The Woods for his Auckland leg, powered by the mighty Ghost Soundsystem. On support, we have the one and only Goldtooth warming up the evening. Being a Grime, Garage and Dubstep historian, it was only right we had the big dog on the bill alongside Neffa. Closing out the night will be Flaura bossman Jack Glacier, his tastefully eclectic mishmash of dance music is the perfect way to round out the proceedings after Neffa’s madness. All our selectors will be running 2 hour sets. Tickets are available now via Humanitix and are cheaper online than they’ll be on the door - if there even are door sales! This one will sell fast, so get in early and don’t miss out. We can’t wait to party with you!

Tamaki Makaurau's favourite street party is back!

The second line-up announcement for Tāmaki Makaurau’s favourite street festival has just dropped, and it’s nothing short of flipping brilliant. Saturday 29 November across Karangahape Road, there’s only one place you should be. 

Just announced as joining dozens of mind-boggling acts at The Others Way this year is
none other than Connan Mockasin, making his grand return to Auckland in band format for the first time in 6 years. Also appearing amongst the astounding new array of acts are Brooklyn’s Emily Sprague-fronted band Florist (appearing as a duo); truly iconic Dead Moon founder and Portland rock’n’roll stalwart Toody Cole & Her Band; London club queen and “Goddess of Rhythm” Karen Nyame KG; Melbourne folk & trip-hop favourite Georgia Knight; sought after Pōneke rapper and singer-songwriter Mā; Cory Champion’s boundary-pushing jazz outfit Clear Path Ensemble; Aotearoa Music Award-winner for Best Alternative Artist Jim Nothing; enigmatic rapper jackaltheblackal, Ōtepoti’s big guitar sound darlings Pearly*, and the one-two collaborative punch of local rap hero Brandn Shiraz with sought after producer Caru.

In recent years, the all-ages stage at The Others Way has been one of the most vibrant places to catch the next-big-things, and this year is no exception. Down with the kids this year are Pōneke guitar slingers Dropper featuring Jude Savage (ex-Bleeding Star), Tāmaki based musician, interdisciplinary artist, and extraterrestrial witch VIDA, alternative rock band and “clowns with hand grenades” Capricore, “heavy psych drifters” Crying Ivy, and riot grrrl faves Lipstick Cherry.

The Pitt St Methodist Church stage will be a secondary all-ages space, and includes performances from Tiny Ruins (duo), Shannon Lay (US), and Holly Arrowsmith. A full stage schedule and All Ages final details will be announced in November. 

“The festival where everything is awesome” - Chris Schulz, Boiler Room 

These phenomenal new names join a truly scorching roster of previously announced acts, including the world dominating majesty of Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory (US), set to headline our brand new main stage.

Also on the menu, Aotearoa’s fabled masters of big noise High Dependency Unit, back to saturate your ears for their first live shows since 2017; Canadian “sonic nonconformist” Saya Gray is headed our way for her debut NZ show; The Phoenix Foundation performing their recently reissued cult classic Pegasus in full; and Zambia’s “Zamrock” legends W.I.T.C.H. are intending to cause havoc, Others Way style. All this and a heck of a lot more.

And, as a reminder, for the first time ever we’re closing down KARANGAHAPE ROAD! Expect the whole dang block between Queen Street and Pitt Street to transform into the party of your dreams, with our main stage landing right near the Rainbow crossing.

You heard it here, folks. We’re shutting down the street, throwing K Road the biggest party you’ve ever seen, and bringing you the wildest line-up in the festival’s history. You don’t wanna miss it.

PLEASE NOTE: 
THIS IS AN ALL AGES EVENT, BUT ALL AGES TICKETS DO NOT GRANT ACCESS TO ALL ZONES, ONLY TO DEDICATED ALL AGES STAGES (FLYING OUT BASEMENT + PITT ST METHODIST CHURCH)

UNDER 15s MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN
