Set inside The Secret Garden of The Stables Matakana, Legacy Fest is a boutique open-air celebration where New Zealand’s greats meet the next wave of musicians. An elegant, intimate, outdoor summer experience held beneath the trees, it’s a festival worth escaping the city for. Sunshine, sprawling lawns and timeless country charm meet live music with soul, curated, spacious and unmistakably Matakana.
THE LINE-UP
Hello Sailor
The soundtrack of 70s Auckland Blue Lady, Lyin’ in the Sand, Gutter Black. Five decades on, Hello Sailor continues to headline festivals nationwide, celebrating 50 years of classic Kiwi rock with trademark swagger and soul.
Jordan Luck Band
From Victoria to Why Does Love Do This to Me, Jordan Luck and his all-star crew deliver the sing-along anthems that define New Zealand’s soundtrack.
The Waterways
Fronted by John Kempt (The Scissormen), The Waterways bring melodic coastal rock with serious craft. Joined by Andrew McLennan (Pop Mechanix, Coconut Rough) and Mark Bell (Blam Blam Blam).
Rumpus Machine
One of the fastest-rising live acts in Aotearoa. After opening for Cold Chisel and Icehouse to 18,000 people, Rumpus Machine have spent 2025 tearing up stages across the country, opening for Tadpoole, and are already locked for Meatstock 2026. Energetic, tight and impossible to ignore.
Lou Lou
Matakana’s own Lou Lou opens the afternoon with her soulful mix of roots, indie and coastal pop, the perfect soundtrack as the garden fills.
Iconic Kiwi music.
One for the locals. One for the weekenders. One unforgettable afternoon in paradise.
Proudly sponsored by More FM, The Rock and The Sound.
