April is the middle month of autumn, but you’ll find nothing middling about the event calendar. It’s a mega month for sporting fixtures and music. The cricketers’ season ends with a bang, and they hand the baton on to rugby league, basketball, and marathon athletes. The music menu includes EDM, collabs between classical and pop musicians, brass bands, and folk-punk. Open your diary and book in some live entertainment.
The city’s professional basketball fans have a busy April ahead. The Wellington Saints have three matches booked against Manawatu Jets, Auckland Tuatara, and Taranaki Airs. They won the championship in 2025, so they are defending the title.
