Big names are set to welcome in 2025 at Rhythm and Vines in Gisborne's Waiōhika Estate.
The first round of the festival's line-up has been revealed this evening, and includes familiar names such as Grammy nominated US rapper Ice Spice, UK DJ Sammy Virj, and Australian EDM producer LUUDE.
The festival announced performances from Italian powerhouses Meduza, British producers Koven, and US producer and king of trap and all things bass RL Grime, along with a unique array of tastemakers including Jyoty, Joy Anonymous, and the dressing gown-wearing viral DJ sensation Fish56Octagon.
British-Indian artist Panjabi MC, known for his viral hit Mundian To Bach Ke, will also be taking the stage this December.
Kiwi artists aren't missing out either, with Dave Dobbyn making his return the festival along with Corella, Sachi, Cassie Hunderson, Frankie Venter and popular DJ Messie, whose popularity grew exponentially after performing alongside UK DJ Fred Again during his tour to New Zealand and Australia earlier this year.
Kiwi DNB all-stars Elipsa, Pirapus and Rova will also be gracing the stage in Tairāwhiti.
This year marks the 22nd time the festival has run, and according to promotional material, there are close to 100 acts set to perform, and this first line-up is only a "mouth-watering taste" of what is to come.
Tickets are now on sale on the Rhythm and Vines website.
