The
line-up for Bay
Dreams 2019, presented by The Edge, has just
been announced and as promised it’s twice the magic. Spread out over two
locations - The Mount in the North Island and Nelson in the South Island.
Promoters confirmed earlier
this year that Bay
Dreams, which has been held on January 2 in the
Bay of Plenty for the last three years, was getting a sister festival in sunny
Nelson, on January 4.
Now they’re excited to
reveal that some of the biggest names in music will play at both The Mount and
Nelson, with top-notch line-ups also confirmed for pre-parties in both spots.
In true Bay
Dreams fashion, there are still more acts to be announced
in the coming weeks, including a major scale hip hop artist for the North
Island event.
The big hitters at both
festivals include Kiwi legends
Shapeshifter,
who will play at the pre-party in The
Mount on January 1 and headline in Nelson on January 4; Australian
singer and multi-instrumentalist Tash
Sultana; Sticky
Fingers, who recently played two sold-out shows in
Auckland; Peking
Duk and their energetic new live show; $uicideboy$ on one
of the main stages this round due to massive demand; British DJ and
Producer Macky
Gee who returns to these shores after recently selling-out
his NZ shows in a matter of minutes; Pnau who are playing their first-ever
show on Kiwi soil; and the ever-impressive
Katchafire.
Bay
Dreams has
established itself as New Zealand’s biggest festival, selling out year after
year. And now with the event being held across two islands, and close to some
of the best beaches and holiday hot spots in the world, it’s gearing up to be
the highlight of the Kiwi summer. Both locations now boast two main stages for
the first time.

1 with a pre-party, featuring

takeover, featuring Danny
Byrd, London
Elektricity, Spy, Logistics, Etherwood, MC Dynamite, and guests.
Other acts across the monster line-up include Virtual Riot, Mr. Carmack, P-Money, Nitti Gritti, Truth and Times x Two.
