This year’s edition lands on Wednesday 31 December 2025 at Bay Park, Mount Maunganui, with a bold new format, fresh sounds, and a lineup built to take you all the way to midnight and beyond.
Presented by Trademark Live and George FM, Famous Last Words 2025 will feature three stages for the first time ever - including an outdoor stage. Each will deliver a unique atmosphere and an even wider variety of bass music, as The Mount’s wildest NYE celebration levels up. Headlining the chaos is UK heavyweights Rudim3ntal, bringing their explosive fusion of drum and bass, house, and soul to Baypark for one final blowout of 2025.
Joining them is a fire lineup of over 10 international artists of electronic powerhouses including cult comedy-rave crew Kurupt FM, high-octane selector Turno, and dubstep hero Flux Pavilion, UK vocalist Issey Cross, with plenty more to be announced.
Known for its electric energy, immersive production and coast-side chaos, Famous Last Words has quickly become one of Aotearoa’s most unforgettable ways to see in the new year. Expect bigger production, harder drops, and more mayhem than ever before.
