Hidden Valley

Overview

Matakana is the daytrip destination for many-an-Aucklander, and this December it can add a new highlight to its list of attractions. The Hidden Valley festival is a one-day music festival, arriving in our lives to fill the void between Christmas and New Years.

Hidden Valley will take over Ascension Wine Estate on Tuesday 27 December – perfect timing for those who prefer to spend the lead up to New Years revelling in the sun instead of sitting in traffic. For lovers of drum 'n' bass, this will be the late Christmas present to top anything received two days prior. Red Rum Touring and George FM are bringing together international headliners Netsky and Wilkinson, Australian party starter L D R U and New Zealand's own top talent P Money.

The day will be a no-clash zone, with everyone – including the host of supporting Kiwi acts – playing one stage across the day. With all that bass packed into one day you'll almost need a holiday to recover, luckily it's the perfect time of year for one.
