Shapeshifter presents first ever SACRED HILL Summer Festival
Shapeshifter is one of the most in demand live acts of the New Zealand summer, selling out venues up and down the country. And now the boys in Shapeshifter are getting together some good mates to throw the biggest party of the summer.
On Saturday 19 February 2011, the inaugural Sacred Hill will see Shapeshifter, Kora, The Black Seeds, Ladi6 and more descend on Sacred Hill Winery¹s Rifleman¹s Vineyard, a stunning site which looks over the white cliffs of the Tutaekuri River in Hawkes Bay. This choice selection of Aotearoa¹s live heavy hitters is part of what will be an annual event, curated and headlined by the boys in Shapeshifter themselves.

As only the third ever Shapeshifter performance in the Hawkes Bay, it¹s a special one for Shapeshifter member, PDigsss, a Flaxmere-born native son. PDigsss is hyped to bring the Shapeshifter sound to his old stomping grounds, saying ³In the words of Sam Cooke, it¹s been a long time coming¹. Shapeshifter in the Hawkes Bay summer with fine wine and friendssee you in the sun!²
Sacred Hill is no ordinary vineyard festival ¬ this is a near perfect selection of Aotearoa¹s top future soul, funk and reggae musicians joining forces under the sun for a day of big tunes and award winning Sacred Hill wines.
There ain¹t no party like a New Zealand party in the summer time ¬ and Sacred Hill is set to be the biggest of the lot. Join Shapeshifter, Kora, The Black Seeds, Ladi6 and more as they bring you Sacred Hill....
