Gardens Music Festival Lineup + New Location Announced - Fatboy Slim, LP Giobbi, Peking Duck, John Morales + More

Starring UK big beat icon Fatboy Slim, the organisers of Auckland's inaugural Gardens Music Festival have announced the full lineup for the summer event, plus a change of location to Auckland Domain "due to damage caused to the grounds by a previous event." Site of November's superb Spring City Music Festival (headlined by Groove Armada) and nestled between the super city's stately War Memorial Museum and Wintergardens, the leafy location will play host to an absolutely stacked bill of overseas and local party bringers — including LP Giobbi, Peking Duk, Set Mo, John Morales, Dick Johnson, Miss B and of course Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim himself — plus there'll be "a new and improved festival layout." Scope out the full Fatboy Slim nationwide tour details below...

"Due to damage caused to the grounds by a previous event, Gardens Music Festival will now take place at its new home — the iconic Auckland Domain, and we cannot wait to see everyone there.” — Endeavour Live Co-Founder Kyle Bell

Press release:

With just over a week to go until the inaugural Gardens Music Festival, organisers have had to scramble to relocate the event from Victoria Park to Auckland Domain.

And with that good news, comes more good news, the full lineup announcement.
