When FISHER comes to town, ordinary nights become tales of legend.
Returning to New Zealand for the first time in over six years, the house music superstar descended on Auckland’s Victoria Park January 10th and delivered a performance fit for the history books. He drew in 24,000 fans and headlined what was ultimately confirmed as the country’s largest electronic music event.
That’s according to the show’s organizers, Trademark Live, a leading event brand in the Aotearoa music industry who produces over 200 shows a year. FISHER also received a Guinness World Record certificate for the achievement.

Few can whip up a crowd like FISHER on a summer night, and the Australian DJ proved once again why he’s one of the hottest commodities in dance music. The record-breaking turnout transformed the park into a groovy sea of bucket hats, Hawaiian shirts and pure euphoric energy.
Tracks like “Losing It” and “You Little Beauty” even had fans braving the elements, dancing through teeming rain and transforming what otherwise would have been a potential washout into a triumphant spectacle.
The night also represented somewhat of a turning point for Auckland’s live music scene. FISHER’s performance filled a void left by the cancellation of the 2025 edition of Bay Dreams, which was once the country’s biggest and most iconic festival. Promoters, inspired by a simpler format of single-artist showcases, bet big on FISHER—and it all paid off.
For FISHER, the historic night was undoubtedly owed in part to his remarkable 2024. Riding high on collaborations like “Waiting For Tonight” (with Jennifer Lopez) and “Somebody” (with Gotye, Kimbra, Chris Lake and Sante Sansone), he brought his trove of hits to the stage with unparalleled showmanship.
