Befitting tradition, Dance Happy Doom Crew have put together a ripper lineup for Dankfest 2026, sprawling across two nights at Ōtepoti's beloved The Crown on 28th and 29th August. Sporting fifteen ambassadors of Aotearoa's DIY underground, the Otago contingent will be joined by northern out-of-towners journeying to the festival Chem Chain, Distracted, Megahowler (all three from Tāmaki Makaurau) and Mooring from Kirikiriroa, plus Strings Speak Mountain travelling northwards from Waihōpai. A rager for the ages, two night passes for Dankfest 2026 are available now...
