Friday 05 August 2022

Friday Jams is back!
After a two-year hiatus, ZM's Friday Jams Live is returning to Western Springs Stadium this November, and the lineup proves it was worth the wait.

The show last took place in 2019 and saw nearly 30,000 Kiwis pack the stadium to watch Janet Jackson, The Black Eyed Peas and 50 Cent – and this year's line-up looks to be just as exciting.

The Sunday, November 13 show promises to continue the legacy of presenting the sleekest production, insatiable visual candy, and pyro for days, with its headline act being none other than American rapper Macklemore.

Fans will also be able to see the iconic girl group, TLC, as well as Akon and Shaggy.

Multi-platinum and Grammy award-winning artist Macklemore last touched down in New Zealand in 2018 with two sold-out shows at Auckland's Spark Arena, where he played hit songs like Good Old Days and Glorious.
Who: Macklemore, TLC, Akon, Craig David, Ashanti, Shaggy, Jay Sean, Dru Hill, Lumidee, Havana Brown and Yo! Mafia
