Win a night out with Mike Puru

A female singer in a red strapless dress and multi-tiered silver necklace performs on a dimly lit concert hall stage, holding a black microphone. A tattoo on her right forearm is visible. The blurred audience is illuminated by ambient lighting, with event branding from Auckland Arts Festival overlaying the scene.

The Auckland Arts Festival is back for 2026 with some incredible shows like La Ronde

La Ronde radiates pure theatrical seduction, a heady mix of gravity-defying aerial work, jaw-dropping pole acts and choreography dripping with sass. Backed by powerhouse vocals and a soundtrack that fizzes like champagne, it’s an intoxicating collision of circus, cabaret, comedy and exhilaration — or as one critic called it, “a glitter-soaked invitation to lose yourself in sequins, sass, and sound.”

No Festival experience is complete without a trip to the famous Spiegeltent — so gather your best-dressed pals, pick a performance, and pair it with another show before or after to make it an evening you’ll never forget.

Win a night out with Mike Puru on Thursday, March 19th, where you'll first enjoy Dining in the Dark at the Grand Millennium Auckland’s Dans le Noir, and then head to La Ronde. Register below to win!

Auckland Arts Festival is on from March 5th - 22nd
