a monumental moment in the 14 year history of Rhythm and Vines, Gisborne’s
New Year’s festival has officially sold out of 3 Day Passes to the festival,
with only a limited allocation of single day tickets remaining. This is the first time the

layout (which was rolled out in 2015), and of course the killer lineup
featuring on the 2016 poster.

are ecstatic that so many people want to join us to being the first
in the world to bring in 2017," says Festival Director

it just shows people are really digging the new direction for the festival
and it's lineup this year. We can't wait to get this show on the road!" And the much anticipated and always hotly debated full performance schedule for
