For one night only, The Others Way Festival will take over Tamaki Makaurau's Karangahape Road district this September for Auckland's most exciting music festival, and street party of the year!

Tickets are moving fast, and with these 14 new acts announced today, don't expect them to stick around for long.

Reforming for the 2021 festival is the original line up of the 70's glam-rock band Space Waltz and one of Aotearoa's most powerful psychedelic, dream-pop artists of the decade Fazerdaze.

The line-up features electronic folk artist Anthonie Tonnon, fan favourites, eclectic pop-star Princess Chelsea and fuzz-pop heartbreakers Voom.

Making their way to Auckland from Otepoti Flying Nun alum Jay Clarkson and the Otepoti all stars The Containers, and drum and double stringed diddley bow iconic duo Night Lunch.

Recently returned multi-instrumentalist and unique multi-format artist Proteins of Magic, and the dark, heavy and cathartic three piece Sulfate will perform alongside jangly post-punk super-group Guardian Singles, infectiously fun Poneke punk pals Dartz, high energy and playful rapper Kamahumble and Tamaki Makaurau's post-punk trio Repairs.

These 14 artists will be joining the 2021 festival line-up alongside the previously announced beloved indie heroes, The Beths, returning to their spiritual home for a very special headline performance. Lawrence Arabia will be performing his Taite-award winning classic album, Chant Darling (which is also being reissued on vinyl for the first time ahead of the festival). And, another legendary NZ band Fur Patrol will be returning to the stage for the first time in a long time - hot off the heels of their 20th anniversary re-issue of Pet.

The September 17 festival will also feature some familiar names; The Coolies, once described by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore as "punk no-wave sonic heartstring buzzing clatter rock n roll". The 1980's Flying Nun indie-pop band Dead Famous People, and Francisca Griffin of Look Blue Go Purple fame, with her band The Bus Shelter Boys. Plus award-winning, instrumental post-rock band Jakob, and Auckland’s first theatrical/political punk band from the 70's The Plague.

Post-punk band Daffodils join the line-up, along with, lush orchestral jazz group, Carnivorous Plant Society, electronic-punk-rockers Grecco Romank, bold and edgy alt-pop artist Theia, dream pop project Phoebe Rings, and hip hop trio Team Dynamite.

Celebrated acts from all corners of Aotearoa are set to perform, Otautahi heavy psych-rockers The Fuzzy Robes and Otepoti's lavish psych-pop artist Juno Is. While from Poneke, reformed loud shoegaze 4-piece The Golden Awesome are joined by dream-fuzz group Transistor, and garage-rock trio Soft Plastics.

Up and coming local acts will make a welcome appearance, techno/rock'n’roll group Data Animal, and dream-folk artist, Jazmine Mary plus Pollyhill with their hypnotic beats and witty raps, and musician, rapper and percussionist Phodiso are among the artists set to wow.
