First Lineup Announced For Rhythm and Vines 2014
The first festival to get a peak at the silver lining of 2015 has announced its first artist line up. On top of UK electro-pop band Bastille, who were announced as a headliner in June, Rhythm and Vines will host a solid array of international and local acts to ring in the new year.
After a strong outcry from his Kiwi fans, drum and bass act Netsky will once again ignite the dance floor and give the country's best speakers a run for their money come December 29. He'll take the stage with a full live band as Netsky Live.
Already scheduled to appear at the southern version of the festival, Zane Lowe will make the trip up north for a hoon on the decks at Waiohika Estate. The Kiwi born UK based broadcaster is known for his impeccable music taste and fast paced DJ sets of eclectic remixes and samples. Also, making his way from the depths of Cardrona Valley, and returning for the second consecutive year, is Aussie electronic-soul artist Chet Faker.
A trifecta of hip hop stars will fly in to Gisborne including Detroit rapper Danny Brown, Queens MC and fine food connoisseur Action Bronson, and leading hip hop producer Just Blaze.
