All this and more are just five minutes away from one of New Zealand’s most picturesque beaches.

The line-up includes legends of the local scene such as Concord Dawn, producer/DJ extraordinaire P-Money, top selling kiwi dub artist Tiki Taane, Tui award winning DJ/producer Bulletproof, plus electro party duo North Shore Pony Club. Top notch DJ’s featuring on the bill include Maya Vanya, Clarke Gayford, Nick D, Ben Wah, and rounding off the entertainment at Northern Lights will be local MC J Dubs, Electronic dub duo Beats Botanical, Incognito, Rugged Tekniques, Bugsy and Latin Aotearoa (a musical collective featuring DJ Bobby Brazuka, vocalist Jennifer Zea and multi instrumentalist/producer Isaac Aesili).
