Devilskin, Villainy and The Boondocks join Rock 2000 Live line-up

Devilskin, Villainy and The Boondocks have officially been added to The Rock 2000 Live lineup at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Friday, September 25.

The biggest day on the calendar is back, and after last year’s sell-out chaos, The Rock 2000 Live is shaping up to be even more huge in 2026, so get your tickets sorted.

Joining already-announced Aussie legends The Living End for this year’s event are three absolute heavy-hitters from the Kiwi rock scene.

Devilskin have been Rock royalty for more than a decade, going from Waikato pubs to one of the biggest bands in the country. This year also marks 10 years since their album Be Like The River debuted at number one in NZ, and with more than 50 million streams worldwide, you already know they’re going to blow the roof off Spark Arena.

Then there’s Villainy, who’ve spent the last decade building themselves into one of Aotearoa’s most formidable rock bands. Their fourth album is due later this year, and their latest single Happy Waste has already hit number one on the NZ rock charts.

And if you’ve caught The Boondocks lately, you’ll know exactly why they’ve earned a spot on this lineup. The self-proclaimed “NZ’s loudest little band” have become Rock favourites thanks to their massive riffs, filthy live shows and unreal work ethic.

Alongside the stacked live music lineup, the iconic Rock 2000 Top 20 Live Ceremony with Jay and Dunc will once again count down the biggest tracks in rock history live inside Spark Arena.

Tickets are on sale now, still for only $79.90. Seriously, where else are you getting tickets that cheap?
