Rhythm & Vines tickets are selling fast with two months to go!

Rhythm & Vines, New Zealand's largest New Year's festival destination is barreling toward another sell-out. With only 60 days left, the message to anyone contemplating New Year's Eve in Gisborne is: "Buy your ticket now to avoid disappointment."

As the first city to receive the rays of the sun every day, the seaside paradise of Gisborne is already gearing up to receive the multitudes of visitors expected over the New Year period, and show them an amazing time.

R&V enthusiastically congratulates our artists The Mint Chicks and Hollie Smith, who raked in the trophies at the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. The Mint Chicks won Best Group, Album of the Year, Best Rock Album and Best Video, as well as Best Album Cover. Hollie Smith picked up Best Female Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist and Best Aotearoa Roots Album, as well as Best Producer. Congratulations to all the nominees, including R&V artists The Tutts and State of Mind.

Rhythm & Vines has been flying the flag for NZ music since it’s inception five years ago. The festival has become well known for hosting established and up-and-coming kiwi musicians and DJs performing in front of thousands of ecstatic revellers in the unique summer setting.

In addition to a cutting-edge lineup of New Zealand music, the festival is bringing in several international acts to headline this year's festival:
New Young Pony Club (UK), MANDY and DJ T (Germany) and Blue King Brown (AUS).
