The Rangatahi Open Mic is back. YANZ and Holding Space Aotearoa are hosting an awesome opportunity for rangatahi artists (16–26) to practise their craft in front of whānau and friends at the bustling creative venue MoveSpace in Mt Eden, Tāmaki Makaurau.

A look back at the Rangatahi Open Mic.

For whānau & supporters: this open mic offers a welcoming, alcohol-free environment. Tickets are free, and we warmly encourage you to RSVP so we can have enough seats for everyone.

For artists: we warmly invite performers of all experience levels to share their art, make a cup of tea, and enjoy Auckland's up-and-coming artists.

  • Slots are 15 minutes or less: two to three songs or items is ideal
  • The intimate venue suits acoustic line-ups best
  • Arrive early for a professionally guided sound check (hosted by Holding Space), free artist photos, and time to hang out with other artists

Nau mai, haere mai. We look forward to seeing you there.
