The orchestra will make history on Saturday when they stream their Hamilton concert worldwide on the video sharing platform.

The New Zealand group Six60 has become the de facto world’s last tour group for tours and concerts by local health officials. Six60 will make history on Saturday when they stream their Hamilton concert to the world on TikTok at 22:15 in New Zealand, which is 04:15 ET.

The concert can be viewed by searching for Six60 in the app.

The local top tickets will conclude their sold-out national tour in Hamilton, New Zealand, at the Claudelands Oval with a performance broadcast on TikTok, the first time a live stadium concert has been streamed through the popular social media platform.

Last weekend, with the most concert venues around the world, Six60 played to a crowd of 32,000 fans, which was the biggest live music event so far in 2021. In 2019, they were also the first New Zealand band in history to sell the historic Western Springs Stadium and sell 50,000 tickets.
