Returning after a brilliant inaugural
celebration to welcome 2017, Top Paddock Festival returns to Lake Hawea on
December 31 to ring in the new year with a bang!
Tickets to the New Year Festival in the heart of the Southern Alps go on sale July 6!
The iconic outdoor venue
provides a stunning backdrop for the Festival amidst the surrounding lake and
mountains. With camping available both on the festival site and a short walk
away at the Lake Hawea Holiday Park, waking up to the magnificent surroundings
of Lake Hawea would arguably be one of the greatest ways to start 2018.
Add to that an amazing line up of local and international acts, led by the
first announcement of artists: Kaylee Bell, Hurricane Fall (AU), Jody Direen, Assembly Required, Cam Luxton and Jenny Harraway, this is a Southern New Year
festival not to miss!
Coming off a whirlwind year including performances at both Keith Urban and The
Dixie Chicks New Zealand shows, Kiwi Kaylee
Bell will headline Top Paddock, adding to her impressive
history of huge international shows – in Nashville and countless mainstage
appearances at Australia’s major music festivals. Kaylee promises to bring her
captivating stage presence, huge voice, and catchy country-pop to the Top
Paddock stage. Rousing sing-alongs are to be expected from her energetic set,
especially with her smash singles – Getting Closer (#1 on the NZ iTunes singles
chart), Pieces (#1 radio chart in Australia, NZ APRA Best Country Song 2015),
and That’s What I Call Crazy (Australia's Top 10 Most Played Country Songs of
2016).
Joining Kaylee on the bill is Australian’s Hurricane Fall, who will bring their
rock-edge country sound. The four-piece found immediate success with their
debut self titled EP peaking at No.2 on the iTunes country chart in Australia,
and promise a diverse set of covers and original material to get the crowd
dancing. Fresh from opening for
major USA acts Leann Rimes and Scotty McCreery, local queen of country and 2017 Vodafone NZCMA
best album winner Jody
Direen returns to the festival along with sensational YouTube
stars Assembly
Required who co-headlined with Jody last year. Canterbury
based Cam Luxton and
Golden Guitar winner Jenny
Harraway round out the first artist announcement of this
year’s Top Paddock 17/18 lineup.
