Venue Spotlight: Go Media Stadium

Standing proudly in Penrose, just 15 minutes from Auckland’s city centre, Go Media Stadium has long been a stage for the extraordinary. From the thundering cheers of world-class sport to the unforgettable crescendos of global music legends, this iconic venue has been at the heart of New Zealand’s biggest moments for nearly six decades. 

Today, beyond the roar of the crowd, Go Media Stadium reveals another side – a sophisticated, flexible destination for corporate events that seek energy, scale, and atmosphere in equal measure. 

A Venue with a Story 

Go Media Stadium’s story began in 1967 as an athletics ground before evolving into one of the country’s premier multipurpose venues. Over the years, it has hosted some of the world’s most celebrated performers, from Adele and Ed Sheeran to U2 and Taylor Swift, alongside generations of elite athletes and fans. 

Renamed in 2023 under a partnership with Go Media, the stadium continues to evolve while honouring its rich legacy. Every event held here carries a touch of that heritage – a sense of performance, pride, and possibility.

Natural light floods through floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a bright, open atmosphere ideal for networking, brand showcases, or elegant evening receptions. With four flexible spaces accommodating up to 1000 guests, planners can design experiences that are as intimate or as grand as their vision demands.
