Mark Williams - Waitangi Day 2027

Get ready for a night of Kiwi classics as New Zealand music legend Mark Williams brings a special Waitangi Day celebration to The Bridge Hotel in Rozelle on Saturday 6 February 2027.

Celebrating the rich musical heritage of Aotearoa, this one night only event brings generations together for an evening of some of the biggest anthems to come out of the Land of the Long White Cloud.

With over 50 years in music, Mark Williams is a legend in his own right. From his solo songbook to the anthems of Dragon, the revered Kiwi band he's fronted for over two decades, his remarkable career has established him as one of Australasia's most respected and versatile vocalists.

Now, Mark returns to The Bridge Hotel to pay tribute to the incredible sounds that have shaped Aotearoa's musical identity, featuring the music of Split Enz, Crowded House, Jenny Morris, The Swingers, Bic Runga, Dave Dobbyn, Hello Sailor and more.

And of course, no Waitangi Day celebration with Mark Williams would be complete without his own iconic hits, including Yesterday Was Just The Beginning Of My Life, It Doesn't Matter Anymore and Show No Mercy, alongside legendary Dragon favourites such as April Sun in Cuba and Rain.

Kicking off the festivities will be Mark's daughter, singer and performer Taylor Beadle-Williams (semi-finalist on The Voice Australia 2026), who'll take to the decks for a special Kiwi-themed DJ set to get the crowd warmed up and the celebrations underway.

More than just a concert, this is a chance to come together, reconnect with home and celebrate the music that makes Aotearoa so special. Whether you're a Kiwi living across the ditch, have New Zealand roots, or simply love a great night of live music, everyone is welcome!

So gather your whānau and your mates and join Mark Williams and his band for a Waitangi Day party to remember!

Kia kaha, kia ngahau - let's celebrate!
