Matakana will be pounding with the sound of drum and bass again just after Christmas, when the Hidden Valley festival returns to Matakana Country Park on Wednesday, December 27.
Thousands of people are expected to attend to see a line-up of international and local DJs and performers on stage at the R18 event from 3pm until 11pm.
Heading the pack is Wilkinson, a London record producer, DJ and remixer, who is an old friend of Hidden Valley – he has appeared at five out of the seven festivals since they began in 2016. Also up is UK drum and bass star Jack Hedges, better known as Hedex, making his Hidden Valley debut, plus American rapper Channel Tres, literally straight out of Compton, California.
The UK’s Goddard, known for his house, techno and ambient vibes, will also be performing, as will another Brit DJ, Hamdi, and Kettama from Ireland.
Completing the international line-up is Jarreau Vandal, from Amsterdam in The Netherlands, Notion, who hails from Bristol in the UK, and London-based 33 Below and Taylah Elaine.
Kiwis on stage will include Sin, Elipsa, Benny Boy, Bavhu, Syrup, Halfqueen, Miss Sinton, Mrs K and Tizza.
Tickets cost $159.90, or $259 for a VIP pass, and buses will be running to the festival from Auckland city, Warkworth, Snells Beach, Omaha Beach, Leigh and Mangawhai.
