It’s a feverish Saturday Night singalong in Whakatū!
The crowd-favourite BATTLE CHORUS is back, and this time it’s DISCO!
This wildly entertaining social sing-along experience transforms the audience into the stars of the show. Under the guidance of acclaimed Aotearoa musicians Jason Te Mete and Jodes Langdon, you’ll be divided into two teams, learn the choruses of some iconic Disco classics, then battle it out in an unforgettable sing-off packed with rhythm, nostalgia, and glitter.
No singing experience is required, just a willingness to join in, have a laugh, and celebrate the power of music to bring people together. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a shower-singing superstar, BATTLE CHORUS is all about community, connection, and collective fun.
Dust off your flares, sequins, and platform shoes, because disco dress-ups are strongly encouraged. With bragging rights, the BATTLE CHORUS crown, and a prize for best dressed all on the line, it’s time to boogie your way to victory.
Don’t miss the beat! This very popular event has limited capacity and will sell out!
