Learn your favourite tune on the ukulele and a cheeky waiata to go along with it, followed by a magical performance by The Nukes themselves.
If you don’t play a ukulele, don’t worry The Nukes have you covered. They can teach anyone to play and have a ball. There will be only a limited number of ukuleles available, so please bring along your own if you have one.
The Nukes are Aotearoa New Zealand’s most beloved and enduring ‘original ukulele trio’. For over 10 years, this unlikely league of musical miscreants has traipsed around Australasia, bringing joy and harmony to all they encounter. With four compelling albums of self-penned tunes as proof of their creative endeavours, and well over 250,000 streams and views online.
This event is part of Auckland Live Christmas in Aotea Square 2025 - a free, all-ages celebration in the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau.
Over 24 days, Aotea Square comes alive with live music, circus, film, karaoke, toi whakaari (performance) and whānau-friendly fun, plus large-scale artworks including The Pavilion and four-metre-tall light installation The Neon Star by Angus Muir.
Auckland Live Christmas in Aotea Square 2025 is proudly supported by Auckland Council Events and the city centre targeted rate.
