Th’ Dudes Confirmed as Final Act for The Biggest Pub Gig in the World 2025
Wednesday 11 June 2025
The lineup is now complete. Kiwi rock icons Th’ Dudes will return to the stage as the final act announced for The Biggest Pub Gig in the World, happening Saturday 2 August at Spark Arena, Auckland.
Joining Dragon, Stellar*, Fur Patrol, and Goodshirt, Th’ Dudes are no strangers to this stage—they headlined the inaugural event in 2020 and are back by popular demand. With pub-rock staples like ‘Bliss’, ‘Be Mine Tonight’ and ‘Walking In Light’, the band’s songs are a permanent fixture in New Zealand’s cultural soundtrack. As the organisers put it, this is about “singalong anthems, questionable dance moves, and good old-fashioned rock’n’roll.”
Far from your average arena concert, The Biggest Pub Gig in the World transforms Spark Arena into the ultimate local—complete with carpeted floors, framed photos, meat raffles, and even the legendary White Lady burger truck. It’s a night designed to feel like your best-ever session at the pub, just scaled up to a few thousand mates.
