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.
With six different races between 25 and 26 April, Faultline Ultra provides the ultimate endurance challenge for athletes of all abilities. The Wellington landscape supplies 6km to 161km courses - competitors choose the one that suits them best.
Make your ANZAC long weekend a winner by cheering on the One New Zealand Warriors as they face the Queensland-based Dolphins at Hnry Stadium. It’s only the fourth time the team has staged the prestigious ANZAC Day game in Aotearoa.
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.
