Jim Beam Homegrown will be back in 2010 on February 20th with an even stronger line-up than this year’s sell out festival. The beautiful Wellington Waterfront will again be home to all 5 stages featuring 32 of New Zealand’s best bands and DJ’s.

The Rock Stage in the TSB Bank Arena boasts a line-up that includes local legends The Feelers and The Datsuns, the 6 x NZ music award nominated Midnight Youth, Luger Boa, Goodnight Nurse and ex Fast Crew front man Dane Rumble. The headline act is still to be announced in November and the winner of the Jim Beam Band Search will open the show.

The Dub and Roots Stage line-up is equally impressive with reggae legends Katchafire, the lovely Ladi6 and Opensouls kicking things off before heavy hitters Salmonella Dub and The Black Seeds take the stage. The headline act will be announced in December.

This year’s Indie Stage oozes credibility with The Mint Chicks headlining ahead of Liam Finn, Cut off your Hands, The Checks, Pluto, Bang Bang Eche and Motocade with one act still to come.

The Smokefree Electronic Stage will be packed from start to finish with performances from live acts Antiform and Minuit, plus some of New Zealand’s finest house and electro DJ’s including Aural Trash, Dick Johnson, Tim Phin and Nick D.

Once again the Wellington City Council is also sponsoring a Free to the Public stage with the ever popular 3 on 3 breakdancing and a selection of New Zealand’s finest DJs throughout the day.

Tickets are expected to sell quickly as the festival has sold out well in advance in both 2008 and 2009. Limited early birds are only $75 from Ticketek from September 21st (or September 14th for database members). Visit www.homegrown.net.nz for more information and to join the database.
