Music News - Rhythm and Alps 2015 launches early bird ticket sales

Rhythm and Alps 2015 launches early bird ticket sales

11 May 2015 - 0 Comments

Tickets to iconic New Year’s international music festival Rhythm and Alps go on sale this Friday (May 15, 2015), with early bird rates expected to generate strong demand.

Billed as the Southern Lakes’ biggest New Year’s party, the two-day outdoor festival celebrates its fifth anniversary this year. About 7500 party-goers are expected to converge on the picturesque Cardrona Valley from December 30-31, 2015.

There are a limited number of early bird tickets, priced at $129 and available at http://www.rhythmandalps.co.nz/. Once early bird tickets sell out, the standard ticket prices will rise to $195 for a two-day pass. 

“This year is the fifth Rhythm and Alps – and the third year it’s been based in Wanaka. We’re talking to some fantastic international and Kiwi artists and the line-up will be announced in July or August. Rhythm and Alps 2015 will definitely be the place to be for New Year’s party-goers in the Southern Lakes,” festival owner Alex Turnbull says.

About 5000 campers and 2500 non-camping ticket holders are expected to attend the 2015 festival.

There are multiple add-ons for Rhythm and Alps party-goers, including VIP, Glamping, Campervans and General Camping. Camping is $70 for two nights and $95 for three nights, keeping in line with regional campground prices. Campervan passes remain unchanged at $100 and Glamping packages are priced from $860 for an all-inclusive, ultimate experience.

Turnbull’s company Bench Music has recently bought the Rhythm and Alps event from owner Rhythm Group after the Rhythm Group decided to concentrate solely on delivering its sister event, Rhythm and Vines in Gisborne.

After a tough year financially for both events due to a decline in 2014 ticket sales, the decision was made to split ownership of the two events.

Since taking over ownership of Rhythm and Alps, with the support of a 25% private equity shareholder in Queenstown, Turnbull has recently moved to Wanaka and is solely focused on delivering another quality event.
