Ladi6, MOKOMOKAI, Christoph El Truento and Geneva AM - Auckland Show Announced

Very much the epitome of a cool show (as the poster accurately boasts), four titanic, boundary-pushing Aotearoa acts are converging upon Double Whammy in Tāmaki Makaurau on 29th May, to wrap up NZ Music Month / Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa in style. All award winners in their respective sonic realms (some many times over), the mega-stacked lineup features queen of Aotearoa hip-hop and neo-soul / R'n'B Ladi6, underground hip-hop kings MOKOMOKAI, polymathic producer / DJ Christoph El Truento, and 2026 Auckland Live Best Independent Debut winner Geneva AM. Make no bones this is the gig to go to in May 2026 — snag tickets pronto or feel that FOMO forever...

Press release:

A massive night at Double Whammy on Friday May 29 brings together four standout Aotearoa acts for a rare, stacked bill in Tāmaki Makaurau.

Leading the lineup is the ever-iconic Ladi6, a pioneer of soulful, beat-driven music that blends hip hop, wavy rhythms and modular electronic soundscapes. She is joined by the heavy-hitting live force Mokomokai, known for their distinctive fusion of 70s soul influences, gritty drum loops and confident, often playful lyricism. Also on the bill is sonic architect, DJ and Producer Christoph El Truento spanning jazz, hip hop, footwork, reggae and dub, and 2026 Taite Music Prize winner Geneva AM, whose dynamic electronic productions and use of Te Reo Māori have marked her as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary Aotearoa music.
