Press release:

Nest Fest is an independent music festival. Situated in the sunny Hawke’s Bay at Blackbarn’s natural amphitheater. The vibes are good and the music’s better. A large serving of exciting local bands and artists with a sprinkling of international flavour too.

NEST FEST is back again for a second year, continuing the story of a community of artists who are reshaping Aotearoa's musical landscape.

But it's not just familiar names from top of the pops. Sticking to our roots of showcasing new sounds, we're including several international acts that have never played in New Zealand before. The result is a spicy concoction of one-off live performances on the NEST FEST stage – a unique day of music you won’t find anywhere else this NZ summer.
