Get ready for an epic afternoon of music and dance - SUSO 2025 Finals are here!

Auckland’s rising stars take the spotlight after 1,600+ students from 46 schools battled through fierce heats and semis. Now the top acts go head-to-head in five finale categories: solo vocal, group vocal, solo instrumental, band, and dance. The SUSO finals are famous for their electric atmosphere, passionate crowds and jaw-dropping performances.

SUSO is more than a competition – it’s a celebration of creativity, culture, and community. Don’t miss the power of our rangatahi expressing themselves and representing their schools and communities on stage at the Auckland Town Hall. Whether you’re cheering on a friend or vibing with fellow fans, your energy makes a difference – come and be part of SUSO.
