Music News - Rippon Festival receives 10k from QLDC
16 October 2013 - 0 Comments
With just over 100 days until the 10th Rippon Festival in Wanaka this summer, the Lake Wanaka SouNZ Incorporated committee is delighted to receive notice of funding through the Queenstown Lakes District Council Event Funding Scheme.
Just under $10 000 has been granted to assist towards event and recycling initiatives for the festival, including the crowd barrier, and a purpose-built recycling station which can be used at other community events in the local region.
Recycling Manager, Sally Norman says, “it’s fantastic to see the festival recognised in this way, and we can’t wait to start constructing the community recycling station”. Ms Norman adds the unit will be built by local master recycler, Peter Akass, and is specifically designed for large events aiming to minimise waste.
With the 2014 line up featuring (among others) The Phoenix Foundation, Electric Wire Hustle, Home Brew, Die! Die! Die!, Ladi6, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Some Other Planets, and Kody Nielson, organisers have also announced three additions to the line up.
Wellingtonian producer-musician Estere will showcase her funky nu-soul/electro set, Thomas Oliver will play his Weissenborn in the Hall, and Anika Moa will step up to co-MC the 2014 event, with P Digsss (Shapeshifter) and KPz (Sunshine Sound System). “What better place for my virginal MCing experience than at Rippon?” Moa asks. “I love Wanaka and all the acts that are playing. Look out fullas – Aunty Anika is here!”
Now recognised as the nation’s longest-running festival promoting solely Kiwi music, the not-for-profit Rippon 2014 is held at Rippon Vineyard, Lake Wanaka on Saturday 1st February.
Tickets: $130 (GA), $220 (Gold)
