Every Theatre tells a story.

Welcome to the historic Mercury
theatre in Auckland.

Important update.

The Mercury Theatre has temporarily closed until 2026. We have just completed earthquake strengthening the Theatre, and with undertaking a significant refurbishment, to return it back to its former glory.
Since 2019 we have been working with various engineers, architects, consultants, heritage specialists, and the music industry on a plan to ensure the Mercury Theatre remains an iconic venue for future generations.
