Promoters have also released an extra 2000 tickets to the festival, which sold out weeks ago (see ticket details below).
 
Bay Dreams will be held at Baypark in Tauranga on January 2, with a warm-up party kicking off all the action on January 1.

Now punters can also add Big Shaq to their list of ‘must-sees’ at the festival. The UK rapper and comedian, whose real name is Michael Dappah, is behind the viral hit ‘Mans Not Hot’. The song’s video features cameos by DJ Khaled, Lil Yachty and Waka Flocka Flame and has clocked up mindblowing 60 million views on YouTube.
 
For the warm-up party on January 1, SWIDT has been announced as a headliner.

They’ll be joined at the warm-up party by Canadian drum ‘n’ bass extraordinaire Stickybuds, emerging Australian EDM artist PhaseOne and Kiwi dance acts Montell2009, DJ Ruseand Lee Mvtthews.
 
Bay Dreams 2018 will feature four stages and world-class production, which includes state-of-the art visuals, pyrotechnics, lighting and sound.
