News - Welcome To The Jungle relocates to take over Auckland - 27th February 2026
Due to the severe weather conditions experienced across Kaiwaka and much of Aotearoa two weeks ago, the Welcome to the Jungle site has been significantly impacted.
Following a full site inspection, the promoter, Fuzen Entertainment, has made the difficult but responsible decision to relocate Welcome to the Jungle, scheduled for Saturday March 21st.
The recent weather means the event is unable to safely commence the build at the Kaiwaka site, and there is significant risk the grounds would not be event-ready in time. Rather than compromise on safety or experience, this is the best choice to ensure the event delivers the quality and atmosphere the Welcome to the Jungle audience expects.
Given the timeframes involved, it was not possible to secure another outdoor venue in the same region with the required resource consent and liquor licensing in place. The team has worked tirelessly to find a solution that allows the event to proceed safely and at scale.
Fuzen Entertainment are pleased to confirm that Welcome to the Jungle will now be taking place across two Auckland venues on Saturday, March 21. Welcome to the Jungle is set to deliver Auckland a heavyweight, world-class jungle experience without compromise.
