Rhythm And Alps 2026 Second Lineup Announced - Swae Lee, Shy FX, FOVOS + More

Te Waipounamu South Island's premier summer festival, Rhythm And Alps 2026 is now double mandatory with a star-powered second lineup drop revealed for the two day New Years Eve festival's sixteenth edition. Already boasting major acts from all around the globe and a substantial local contingent, fresh additions to the bill include co-headlining US rap superstar Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd, whose 2020 collaboration with Post Malone 'Sunflower' is closing in on nearly five billion (!) streams on Spotify alone (and three billion on YouTube), UK drum 'n' bass originator Shy FX, co-creator of landmark jungle track 'Original Nuttah' (with UK Apache on the mic), and globe-trotting Aotearoa electronic dance duo FOVOS.
