Snow Machine 2022

Overview

The hottest festival for the colder months is coming — Queenstown's winter music festival and ski trip Snow Machine is set to make its long awaited debut for four snow-filled days of music and adventure.

The festival was canned in 2021 amid the country's snap lockdown, but is set to return this year, taking place down south from Wednesday, September 7 until Saturday, September 10, 2022.

Attendees will be treated to action-packed days on the slopes, aprés ski events on both Coronet Peak and The Remarkables and a lineup of international acts, including Melbourne electronic music group the Avalanches and dance-pop royalty Sneaky Sound System. Local legends Fat Freddy's Drop are also set to headline (let's be honest, it wouldn't be a Kiwi music festival without them).

A variety of five-night accommodation options ranging from 'Value' to 'Mid-Range' and finally 'Deluxe' are all available, which come alongside a four-day festival ticket and lift passes. If you'd rather make your own way or pass on the skiing, there are 'ticket only' options, and of course, VIP packages if you really want to do it in style.
