Rhythm & Alps have announced 16 incredible and diverse acts to perform at the 2023 festival in December, with more to be revealed in the coming weeks.

Event organiser Alex Turnbull states, “We are immensely proud of the carefully curated first artist announce for the 2023 event. We have worked hard over the years to build an inclusive event, with a little something for everybody - performers and festival goers alike - and 2023 promises to be another exciting and welcoming festival for all.”

Rhythm & Alps celebrates its 13th anniversary amongst the golden hills of the beautiful Cardrona Valley and is thrilled to welcome back popstar Stella Bennett, aka BENEE, for a one off Aotearoa summer show, as well as Fat Freddy’s Drop and Ocean Alley, who make their South Island exclusive appearances.

In a breathtaking music event like none other Synthony will ring in New Year's Eve in a truly unique and immersive experience, complete with a magnificent orchestra and fireworks show.

Northern Ireland electronic music production and DJ duo Bicep make a return after heavy demand from their southern fans.

Delivering the sweet, sweet sound of a Kiwi summer, the smooth and refreshing hip-hop crew Homebrew return to Cardrona Valley after a lengthy hiatus.

Tipped to be some of the hottest festival acts for 2023, Rhythm & Alps presents your favourite artists' favourite artist, leading-edge rapper and gifted hip-hop act out of Compton, Chanel Tres and Australasia's most streamed Country artist, the award-winning and multi-talented Kaylee Bell.

Drum & Bass lovers unite! Belfast Music producer and DJ, Calibre, Aotearoa's award-winning force Paige Julia, one of the scene's most exciting talents Disrupta and UK duo Sigma are scheduled to perform across the three days.

And, rounding out the first festival announcement is New Zealand’s most noteworthy breakout dance DJs, Bontempo, Melbourne-based producer Nice Girl, UK house producer Ross From Friends and roots-driven hypnotic dance trio My Baby.

“Rhythm & Alps is the best place to be in New Zealand for New Year’s,” continues Turnbull, “Awesome music, immaculate stage production, amazing weather and 100% good vibes”

The mighty Wanaka festival Rhythm & Alps is immeasurably proud of its lucky 13-year-long reign as the ultimate Te Wai o Pounamu New Year's party.

The three-day music and camping festival opens in the afternoon on December 29th, when punters will stream in over the iconic Cardrona River. From when the gates open, until the last act finishes in the wee hours of January 1st 2024, Rhythm & Alps will be filled with thousands of good humans for the hottest Kiwi summer indulgence in music and celebration.

The three-day festival welcomes 10,000 partygoers and more than 6,000 campers. Just over 40 per cent of the people who attend come from outside the region, helping bring a significant increase in regional spending and a palpable buzz to Wanaka and surrounding areas.
