New Zealand’s newest festival destination, Snowboxx, just got even bigger.

The week-long slopeside party at the Cardrona and Treble Cone ski fields this spring (September 7-14) will feature an eclectic mix of music and organisers have announced additions to its 100 per cent Kiwi lineup.

The event, which is a collaboration between Europe’s leading winter music festival, Snowboxx, and Wanaka’s own Rhythm & Alps, promises an action-packed programme of après ski shenanigans, combining elements of a ski trip and a music festival into one package.

In-demand New Zealand talent spanning drum & bass, hip-hop, disco, house, reggae and more have joined the lineup.

Acts including Kora have been added to the music lineup, and the festival also features events like hip hop and disco brunches.

Topping the bill is live powerhouse Kora, who will be bringing their genre-melding sound and recent creations like ‘Weekend’ to local audiences, while New Zealand-raised production wizard Opiuo will bring his unmistakable bass sound, including a remix of Eko Zu and Kraddy’s ‘Like A Feather’ (featuring KillWill). 

Rounding off the line-up are fast-rising electronic duo Arma Del Amor (featuring Wanaka’s Martine Harding and Danny Fairley), George FM personality Brook Gibson and bass bigwigs Eastern Bloc, plus Hot & Dangerous, Noncharlet, Scotty Mayes and Thanks.

Rhythm & Alps director Alex Turnbull said the event had secured “the best talent New Zealand has to offer”.

“We’re hyped to stage a safe, affordable and unforgettable event in one of the world’s most spectacular locations. Between all the parties, pistes, dining and good vibes in and around Wanaka, you’ll never want to leave.” 

Attendees can also look forward to rowdy sledge races, a ‘skim pool’ (which keeps spectators glued to the antics of fearless skiers and snowboarders), and hip hop and disco brunches, combining food, company and a killer soundtrack.
