The Playsure area will host intimate explorations, ensuring all guests experience a respectful and liberating atmosphere. Managed by experienced Consent Guardians, this space promotes connection and understanding, embodying the festival’s ethos of mutual respect.
Music to Elevate the Spirit
The festival’s two stages—Liberation and Unity—will feature an electrifying lineup of local and international artists. Dance beneath the stars to the dreamy live sets of Kon Faber (Berlin) and Minoa (Barcelona), or feel the high-energy beats of Vitamin Cos (Auckland) and Fabian Krooss (Berlin). Emerging talents like SorchaLula (Wellington) and Zolomon (Auckland) will also take the stage, creating a weekend of unforgettable sonic experiences.
