Whether they’re a life-changing experience or an excuse for an annual get-together, music festivals hold a big place in our hearts. Aotearoa has a rich history of music festivals, and AudioCulture has documented many of them – features on Redwood 70, the Great Ngāruawāhia Music Festival, Nambassa, Sweetwaters and Mountain Rock are all here. We also have stories on Big Day Out, Rhythm & Vines, The Gathering, Splore, Womad, Laneway, Camp a Low Hum, and even the National Banjo Pickers’ Convention. So pitch your tent, slap on some sunscreen and dive on in.
