The La De Da Festival makes a stellar return this New Year’s Eve, bringing together some of New Zealand’s finest as well as the introduction of world class international acts. Party-goers will once again make the pilgrimage to the beautiful vineyard surroundings of Martinborough, just one hour’s drive from Wellington, where they will they will be treated to a line-up second to none.

Going bigger and better with two stages this year, La De Da combines a chilled winery vibe during the day with a non-stop party atmosphere by night across a Main stage (dub & roots) and Electronic stage (Dubstep and Drum & Base), to bring you the best of both worlds.

Keeping things chilled on the main stage will be local legends Fat Freddy’s Drop, American surf-rocker Donovan Frankenreiter,) reggae masters Katchafire, urban roots band Blue King Brown (Aus), the ever-popular Sola Rosa (NZ) and the soulful Iva Lamkum (NZ); while hot favourites Six60 and Kora will ramp things up in the evening.

Over on the electronic stage, drum n’ bass and dubstep masters SKisM (Never Say Die, UK), Dodge & Fuski (Never Say Die, UK), and Eddie K (HENCH, UK) will join Kiwi counterparts State of Mind, Concord Dawn and The Upbeats w/ Lowqui to up the ante on the line up.

Festival Promoter, Josh Mossman, says La De Da has built on the success of last year to bring Kiwis a New Year’s atmosphere like no other.

“The first La De Da went off with a bang, but this year we want to blow people’s expectations away, and treat them to a bigger and better party to ensure their New Year’s Eve experience is nothing short of epic!”

La De Da boasts a larger scale production this year with more space, more stages and more acts, so has moved to the new location of Dry River Road in Martinborough to accommodate for the higher quality festival.

Accommodation will again be available at the festival’s onsite camp ground, Lullaby Lane, with another night’s worth of entertainment yet to be announced exclusively for the campers.

Tickets are available from 9AM Wednesday 29 June online from www.1-night.co.nz/LaDeDa. With a sell-out crowd in 2010 of 10,000, and early bird tickets selling out in just 10 minutes, festival goers should get in quick to avoid disappointment. VIP options will also be available.
