The move to Claudelands Oval in Kirikiriroa Hamilton has unlocked a new level of scale for the long-running festival. Drawing 25,000 people in 2026, the venue provides the space for seven stages and a genre-spanning experience that celebrates the depth of the local music scene.

As the festival approaches its 20th year, the focus remains on the community and the unique atmosphere of a purely New Zealand lineup. This isn't just about the music, it is about the crew you bring and the people you meet between the stages. By locking in the 2027 date early, organisers are looking to build on the momentum that saw the local economy thrive during the previous festival weekend.

LINEUP:

Leading the first wave are Fat Freddy’s Drop, Sir Dave Dobbyn, Shapeshifter, Gin Wigmore, Savage, The Exponents, Devilskin and Full Metal Orchestra which brings the orchestra-meets-live-music spectacle to rock and metal, turning some of the genre’s biggest anthems into a huge, immersive concert experience.

Twenty years after taking the stage at the inaugural Homegrown, Tiki Tane, Elemeno P, Opshop, Dick Johnson, Sunshine Sound System and Kora are also back on the bill to mark two decades of the all-Kiwi music festival.

They’ll be joined by other Kiwi favourites including DJ Sir-Vere, Tadpole, Jon Toogood, Montell2099, Club Sachi and breakout pop artist PRINS who debuted as a Jim Beam Homegrown emerging artist in 2026. Plus, further lineup announcements still to come.
