The Rock 2000 Live Event returns for 2025! All cheers to the legends at Jack Daniels.

This legendary rock event is getting even bigger this year. Featuring The Rock 2000 Top 20 Live Ceremony with Jay and Dunc, plus a historic New Zealand first as headliners…

Blindspott alongside a 30 piece Philharmonic Orchestra

This one of a kind performance will see Blindspott thrash their iconic self titled debut album in full, while the Philharmonic Orchestra will transform their iconic sound into an unforgettable symphonic experience. 

The orchestra will add a dramatic new layer to Blindspott’s music, from the rich string arrangements of Mind Dependency to the sweeping instrumental sections of Ilah. Plus....

Grinspoon and Tadpole have been added to the bill!

“Personally, I love New Zealand so much and we haven't gotten back there as much as we would've liked, so when this opportunity came up, I was like to the rest of the band, 'dudes we gotta do this,” Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson told The Morning Rumble.

Meanwhile, New Zealand’s very own Tadpole are set to bring their charismatic live presence to Spark Arena. After disbanding in 2006 and getting back together in March last year, they’ve already returned to the stage for select performances, with the introduction of powerhouse vocalist Lauren Marshall.

Keen to be side of stage for Blindspott at The Rock 2000 Live? Anyone who buys a ticket, or has already bought one, goes straight in the draw to win a Side of Stage experience for Blindspott. How good?
