Brockhampton Returning To NZ For FOMO 2020 Festival

Kevin Abstract's rap collective Brockhampton are the first international act announced for the second local manifestation of summer outdoor mega-festival FOMO, happening this January at Auckland's The Trusts Arena. The Texas-via-California "all-American boyband" were the talk of the town when they hit Aotearoa last September, they've since dropped their globally acclaimed fourth collection iridescence, and it looks like they've trimmed down the formerly thirteen-strong roster a bit too. Fans (and at least one UTR staff member) will be fizzing about the info below – keep it locked for more FOMO lineup revelations in the near future...

Press release:

After making its first New Zealand appearance last summer, Australasia’s favourite one day, one stage, all inclusive festival FOMO is back for 2020, and it’s moving outside to make it much bigger and better.

Last week, the 2020 dates were revealed online along with a stack of speculation about which international guest might be heading to our shores. We’re thrilled to confirm that your hunches were correct. BROCKHAMPTON will be playing FOMO in Auckland on 15 January, just the first of multiple international acts to be announced.

Headed up by Kevin Abstract, the Texas-via-California rap collective defy all pre-existing stereotypes of a boy band. They are a self sufficient creative enterprise made of rappers, directors, photographers, engineers, producers, graphic designers and DJs. They consistently change the game and deliver a fully unified and realized artistic vision.

Last year, when BROCKHAMPTON graced our shores, they sold out all their show in minutes. With FOMO Auckland an R16 gig, we know that this is going to be the hot ticket of the summer.

However, there will be some new offerings including the Auckland event being upgraded to Outdoors at The Trusts Arena to take advantage of the amazing New Zealand summer and give everyone the ability to be on the dancefloor. The festival set up means you can be under the sun or shelter, and can access the food and bars without having to miss the music. Located just off the North-Western motorway it’s just a short trip from the city, or easy to access via the Waterview Tunnel.

There’s heaps more news to come, including more international acts. Stay glued to FOMO’s socials for stacks of updates coming your way over the next few weeks!
