Festival spokesperson and Flying Out big cheese Matthew Davis on The Others Way...

"This has been one of the most challenging and complex periods for the NZ music community. From the 2020 festival cancelling through to lockdowns and date changes, we want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported and worked with us through it.

Not only can we look forward to seeing the festival go ahead in January 2022, but we are also thrilled to present another amazingly talented and diverse all local lineup across some of the finest live music venues in Auckland. Plus, we have some exciting site changes and additions to the set-up that we will be announcing soon."
