Imagine a dance floor, the world’s greatest gospel choir and a DJ set for the ages. That’s History of House in a nutshell. Whether your vibe is disco funk, club classics, rave anthems or millennial electropop, this non-stop ride through three decades of dance music has you covered. Whoever had the brilliant idea to put the vocal power of African gospel singers behind one of Australia’s biggest DJs sure knows how to bring the house down. From the first beat drop to the last, we know you won’t be able to stop dancing — both inside a pulsing Auckland Town Hall and all the way down Queen Street afterwards.
