Outfield Festival

Overview

On Saturday, February 11, a bevy of international and local artists and food and drink artisans will descend on Hawke's Bay for Outfield, a music, food and arts festival in its fourth year.

You'll be able to dance in the idyllic rolling hills of Te Awanga Downs as 37 international and local acts take the stage, including four-man soulful rock ban Coterie, Auckland rapper JessB, renowned Aotearoa producer P Money, Wellington electronic bass music collective Rhombus, Indie pop-rock Australian band Vacations, UK drum and bass artists Dillinja and Kasra — and many more.

And yes, given the one-day festival's location smack bang in the country's 'fruit bowl' there will be premium food and drink options to keep you fuelled — including craft beers, artisan food offerings from local makers and of course, some truly excellent wines.

If you're keen to make a weekend out of it, there are camping options are available close to the festival grounds and to the stunning TukiTuki River — perfect for walks and picnics on Friday afternoon.
