Overview

If we weren't already spoilt enough for choice, a new festival combining some of the biggest names in hip hop and electronica has been announced for September.

Presented by Fuzzy and Live Nation, Listen In will be held at Spark Arena on Friday 28 September. The one-night festival is the offshoot of the Australian dance-meets-hip hop festival Listen Out which annually drops by the main centres with a slam dunk lineup. And the bill for New Zealand's first taste certainly doesn't disappoint.

Flying in for the local debut of Listen In will be chart-topping New York rapper A$AP Rocky, influential grime artist Skepta, eight-time Grammy winner and dubstep mogul Skrillex, and 19-year-old Pennsylvania rapper Lil Skies in his first visit down under.

Listen In will take place at Spark Arena on Friday 28 September. Presales will be available from Thursday 5 July at 12pm.
