RHYTHM AND VINES (R&V) FESTIVAL TOUR TICKETS 2025

All You Need To Know About Rhythm and Vines (R&V)

Rhythm and Vines (R&V) is one of New Zealand’s most iconic music festivals, held every year in Gisborne over New Year’s. Set in the lush vineyards of the Waiohika Estate, it’s known for being the first festival in the world to welcome the new year — thanks to its spot on the east coast, where the sun rises before anywhere else. Thousands of festival-goers from across New Zealand and around the world come together for three days of live music, camping, and unforgettable summer vibes.

The festival showcases a wide range of music, from electronic and hip hop to pop and indie, with both international headliners and up-and-coming local acts. But it’s not just about the music — R&V has become a full experience, with art installations, food trucks, themed parties, and that unbeatable New Year’s Eve atmosphere. Whether you’re dancing under the stars or catching the sunrise with your crew, Rhythm and Vines is all about celebrating music, freedom, and the start of a brand new year.

Upcoming Rhythm and Vines (R&V) 2025

Rhythm and Vines is the beating heart of New Zealand’s festival scene, and the 28th of December is shaping up to be one of its most stacked days yet. Expect a full-on day of energy, bass, and boundary-pushing performances across two stages: the Rhythm Stage and the Cellar Stage. Whether you're into heavy-hitting drum and bass, smooth house grooves, or genre-defying DJ sets, this lineup delivers. From the high-energy chaos of Hossy, inmotion, and Lady Jesus, to the genre-fusing brilliance of Jamil Śabda, and the homegrown hype trio DONS, the day is loaded with fresh talent making serious waves across Aotearoa. Add rising stars like EX-FREQ, SLAPS, and ONIT, and you’ve got a showcase of what’s next in the NZ bass and dance music scene. It’s more than just a party — it’s a cultural moment, grounded in community, diversity, and a shared love for the beat.

Beyond the music, R&V is about the vibe — vineyard views, wild stage production, and the kind of energy that only Gisborne can deliver. This is the place where summer kicks into gear, friendships form fast, and memories are made before the year even ends. Whether you're a long-time raver or new to the festival scene, the 28th is the perfect chance to dive into a day of high-octane sets and discover your new favourite artist. Just one warning: this lineup is deep, and the FOMO is real — make sure you're there from the first beat.
