The legendary Kiwi band Six60 is stepping up to help Aotearoa reclaim the Guinness World Record for the largest haka ever performed.
This massive event will take place next weekend at Auckland’s Eden Park on September 29, and organisers are hoping to gather a whopping 10,000 participants to perform the famous “Ka Mate” haka!
The current record for the largest haka is held by France. Back in 2014, a total of 4,028 people united to perform the haka. But now, it’s New Zealand’s turn to take back the crown—and who better to lead the charge than the award-winning band Six60? They’ll be joined by other Kiwi stars like Anika Moa, Kings, Tami Neilson, Alien Weaponry, and the iconic Topp Twins.
In 2017, there was a huge effort in Rotorua to break the record, but unfortunately, it wasn’t officially recognised by Guinness World Records. This time, though, everything’s in place, and Dame Hinewehi Mohi, a beloved music legend, is determined to bring the title back to where it belongs.
If you want to be part of this moment, you can grab one of the 10,000 tickets available for participants via the Haka Record website.
