Boots, beats & BBQ: The ultimate Luke Combs weekend

Dust off your boots and get ready for a full, happy weekend of fun in Auckland as country music superstar Luke Combs takes the stage at Eden Park on Friday, 17th January, and Saturday, 18th January 2025! Whether you’re a super fan or just love a good country tune, we’ve rounded up the best spots to channel your inner Southern Belle or Gentleman.

Smoking Shack

Nothing says Southern comfort like slow-cooked barbecue. Smoking Shack in Grey Lynn serves up flavours that will transport your tastebuds straight to Nashville. From tender brisket and smoky ribs to tangy sauces and classic sides, this is a spot meatlovers will tip their hat to. Paired with an ice-cold beverage, it’s the perfect pre-show spot to fuel up with friends and get you riding high before heading to Eden Park. And what’s even better, you grab a bite during the gig; the Smoking Shack food truck will also be serving at Eden Park for each concert. That deserves a ‘yeehaw’.

Vixen Vintage Boutique

Two-step your way to Eden Park in the perfect pair of cowboy boots. Vixen Vintage Store on Karangahape Road stocks pre-loved and vintage fashion, but more specifically, they have an impressive collection of authentic western boots. To complete the look, you might be lucky to find a suede tassel jacket, leather vest or denim overalls among their many racks of treasures.

The Portland Public House

For a relaxed vibe with great music and even better whiskey, head to The Portland Public House, just a short distance from Eden Park. Tap your boots to live music and enjoy the perfect blend of Southern-inspired charm and Kiwi hospitality. You’ll find hearty staples on the menu, like sirloin steak, chicken and chips, burgers, and the popular Portland House Platter. It’s the perfect place to kick back with some happy vibes, whether you’re gearing up for the gig or keeping the good times rolling afterward.

Eden Park

The highlight of the weekend: Luke Combs live at Eden Park! With his chart-topping hits, raw emotion, and undeniable stage presence, this two-concert event promises to be an unforgettable experience. Sing along to fan favourites like “Beautiful Crazy” and “Beer Never Broke My Heart” as Luke brings his signature country sound to New Zealand’s iconic stadium. Wear your comfiest cowboy boots, Luke’s electrifying performances are sure to have you on your feet.

Muriwai Beach Horse Treks

Take in Auckland’s stunning West Coast atop a trusty stead with Muriwai Beach Horse Treks, just a short drive from central Auckland. The wild west takes on a different meaning around these parts, with this guided horseback adventure taking you through rolling dunes, along the breathtaking beach and through cool, lush forest. Whether you’re a first-timer or it’s not your first rodeo, it’s a memorable way to spend a laid-back morning exploring a different side of Auckland before gearing up for the concert.
