You might've wondered how the hell we were ever going to top last year's 25th celebration of The Rock 2000 - but never fear, because we've only gone and bloody done it.
The Rock 2000 live event will return to Spark Arena on September 26th with a never-before-seen performance: Blindspott, backed by a 30-piece orchestra.
The iconic Kiwi rockers will perform their debut, self-titled album in full, along with the power of the Philharmonic Orchestra.
The triple platinum album features monster hits like 'Nil By Mouth', Phlex and 'Room to Breathe', and we can hardly fathom how epic they're going to sound like in this context.
"This isn't just another gig - it's the holy day on the rock 'n' roll calendar," Rock boss Brad King said.
"Every year, we bleed for this thing - months of planning, late nights, loud music, and louder opinions," he added.
"But it’s all worth it when the lights go up and 6000 legends are screaming every lyric back at us from the top 20 Live Ceremony."
Voting for The Rock 2000 will start in August, and the countdown will run from September 1st through till the 26th where Spark Arena will play host to "Bogan's Christmas" as the number one song is announced along with a stacked lineup of live music.
Blindspott with the Philharmonic Orchestra is only the first act to be announced, so you'll be wanting to stay locked in to see what else is in store.
Early bird tickets are on sale NOW and general sale kicks off on Monday April 14th, 9am.
"This is our love letter of sorts to the fans, the bands and the chaos that is rock music," Brad continued.
"This year, we're going bigger, louder and better than ever."
We'll see ya there! Cheers to Jack Daniel's.
