Watch: Noah Kahan skydives in Auckland, calls it his ‘new favourite city’

Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan has called Auckland his “new favourite city” and says he doesn’t want to leave after performing two shows in Tāmaki Makaurau.

Before his show at Spark Arena on Saturday, the Stick Season singer headed west to Parakai where he took on the highest skydive in New Zealand.

Kahan said the skydive was “like a dream where you don’t die”.

“That was the sickest thing I have ever done by far,” he said after landing.

“Worth every f***ing cent, baby. That was f***ing sick, like f***ing crazy, like a dream where you don’t die.”

The singer performed in Auckland that evening and told the crowd about his experience of jumping out of a plane at nearly 5500m, with up to 75 seconds of freefall at about 200km/h, followed by a parachute flight with views over Auckland’s east and west coasts.
