Kimbra is believed to be the headline act at Qatar Airways' big gala dinner in Auckland tomorrow.
The Grammy-winning singer would follow in the tradition of local artists performing at functions to celebrate the launch of services by the airline which flies to about 150 destinations around the world.
The exclusive dinner at Auckland Museum for about 250 people from the travel industry and others would be an "amazing party'' one Qatar executive has said. Dress is formal for the dinner which celebrates the start of the airline's Doha-Auckland route.
