Porirua Rocks 2!

Following the phenomenal success of our inaugural Porirua Rocks event in April 2024, we're thrilled to announce our return for Porirua Rocks 2 on Saturday 3rd May 2025. This now-established craft beer, wrestling, food and music spectacular will rock Te Rauparaha Arena once again – bigger, badder and better than ever before!

Building on last year's overwhelming response and landmark first-time event, Porirua Rocks! has solidified itself as a must-attend festival. Porirua Rocks 2 will feature over 20 food vendors and craft breweries as well as New Zealand's best wrestlers competing in 6 exhilarating matches. Six of NZ's top original rock bands will also hit the stage throughout the day, giving festival goers an immersive and unforgettable experience. 

We are proud to champion New Zealand's vibrant craft beer, music and wrestling scenes. Porirua is quickly becoming a hotspot for craft beer lovers, with venues like The Beer Engine, Abandoned Brewery, and Supply Room Mana consistently bringing variety to the area. The recent opening of Kai Tahi only adds to the city’s reputation for excellent hospitality. Porirua Rocks 2 is the perfect chance to experience the best of what “The City of Two Tides” has to offer, in a truly unique setting.

Tickets to this one of a kind event will go on sale on Monday 3rd December, with options available exclusively for VIP and pre-sale registrants. General admission will go on sale on Monday 16th December starting at $65.
