Summer festival season continues this month with Shipwrecked, three days of DJs, live music and arts at a privately owned lakeside setting in Te Arai.
Situated on the banks of a former sand mining lagoon between Spectacle and Tomarata Lakes, the 2024 Shipwrecked Festival features more than 100 international, NZ and local performers on five stages, as well as workshops, performance art, dance, market stalls, camping and food.
Organisers describe the venue at 186 Atkins Road as a “spectacular adult playground”, with a pontoon, jetties, over-water swings, shade shelters, sculptures, bar areas and several beached boats.
“Taking inspiration from the international festival scene, with uniquely Kiwi vibes, Shipwrecked is a place to come together to celebrate and immerse ourselves into a weekend of underground music, visual and interactive art, nature and life itself,” they say.
“The festival is located in Te Arai on a site that’s had year upon year of love, sweat and tears poured into it to create a unique lakeside playground for inclusive bass music lovers.”
Acts include De Walta, Franca and Heimlich Knuller from Germany, Mystic State from the UK, Sacred Summit and Seijin from Australia, plus Bavhu, Dirdygerdi, Sunshine Sound System and Dan Paine.
Shipwrecked runs from 12 noon on Friday, February 9 to 6pm on Sunday, February 11 and is an all ages event. Tickets cost $420 for the full weekend plus camping, $380 for Saturday and Sunday plus camping, or $150 for Sunday only.
