Live at the Domain: What to know before Good Charlotte’s Auckland headline gig

Dust off the eyeliner, dig out your old band tees, and get ready, because Live at the Domain is taking over Auckland Domain, Friday 27th February - headlined by none other than Good Charlotte.

They’ll be joined by some other epic names in rock music, including Highly Suspect, Yellowcard, and Tadpole.

We’ve got you covered with all the essentials so you can rock up, get in, and enjoy the chaos.

TICKETS

Limited tickets are still available. If you are keen to get amongst the noise, check here for your best chance to get your hands on a ticket. 

Tip: Make sure you bring your ticket, either printed or screenshotted on your phone. 

If you want to go for the ultimate experience, there are extremely limited VVIP tickets left. They come with perks like free food and drink options, an exclusive bar, toilets, platinum barriers, and a VVIP lane. 

SET TIMES

Gates open at 4.30 pm, so get in early if you want to make the most of the night - Tadpole is kicking things off shortly after. 

4.50pm - Tadpole 

6.00pm - Yellowcard 

7.30pm-  Highly Suspect 

9.00pm-  Good Charlotte

Times subject to change. No entry after 9pm, and no pass-outs - it is a one-way door policy.  

PARKING

There’s no on-site parking, and street parking around the domain is limited. Your best bet is to use public transport or ride-sharing services. 

If you’re dead-set on driving, street parking options are available in some surrounding streets, but be prepared for a bit of a hike. 

TRANSPORT

Plan ahead! You can use the AT mobile app or website, and it’ll do the hard yards for ya.

Train: Newmarket Station is a 3–7 min walk. Parnell and Grafton stations are also nearby.

Bus: Stops on Park Road, near the Auckland Museum, and Ayr Street are all within walking distance.

Drop-off/pick-up: Enter via Morgan Street, exit Clayton Street.

ENTRY RULES

Live at the Domain is strictly an R18 event, so no ID means no entry. Bring your NZ Driver’s License, Passport, or Kiwi Access Card and have it ready as you head to the gates.

What you CAN bring:

• Your ticket (printed or on your phone).

• A sealed, reusable plastic bottle (under 1 litre).

• A small bag, bum bag, or handbag (max 30cm x 30cm).

• A jacket - it’s looking to be in the late teens, so once the sun goes down, you’ll feel the chill.

What NOT to bring: 

• Alcohol

• Chairs

• Chilly Bins or Cooler Bags

• Glass, Metal, cans, or other solid water bottles/drinks

• Weapons

• Large cameras

• Lasers

TIPS FOR EVENT DAY: 

There are food and beverages available at the venue. See the food vendors below. 

There is an ATM available on-site, but they encourage contactless payments where possible.  

Safe to say it’s going to be an exciting night, with Joel Madden from Good Charlotte super excited to get stuck into the NZ show, and we can expect him bringing his A game - a mana wave, a ‘Tūtira mai ngā iwi’, and maybe even a ‘good c**t’ thrown in there. 

So get your ‘Aue!’ ready, and have a sick night.
