The iconic outdoor venue provides an amazing backdrop for the festival amidst the surrounding lake and mountains. With camping and glamping available, waking up to the magnificent view of Lake Hawea is the best way to start 2020.

Dragon is back, as good as ever. Dragon has had many hits over the years and have sold over 2 million albums. Fronted by legendary kiwi singer Mark Williams, the band is known for anthems like April Sun In Cuba, Are You Old Enough, Rain, Speak No Evil, Young Years, This Time, Sunshine, Celebrate and Dreams of Ordinary Men. Dragon will rock through a long list of iconic songs mashing up 30 years of Australasian musical history into one contemporary sound doing justice to a great collection of timeless songs.
Bass player, Todd Hunter reformed the band in 2007 after amuch-needed break and Dragon have played over 700 shows since then. Todd and Mark are joined by Canadian guitar slinger, Bruce Reid and drum wizard Pete Drummond.

Joining Dragon on the bill is New Zealand’s Jody Direen; 2017 Vodafone NZCMA best album Tui winner. Direen is soon set to release her 4thstudio album and tour Australia’s first ever C2C Festival with Tim McGraw, Kelsea Ballerini and more.

Jaydin Shingleton is in the midst of a musical whirlwind, holding the title of Trans Tasman Entertainer of the Year and Gold Guitar over-all winner 2019. Shingleton’s vocal ability and energy combined on stage is mind-blowing.

Assembly Required return with their unique rock blend of hard-hitting guitars and powerfully raw vocals after a ring of sell-out shows across New Zealand.

New Zealand’s 2018 Gold Guitar over-all winner Arun O’Connor will impress with vocal chops likened to Chris Stapleton and a set of upbeat party classics mixed in with his debut single “Following the Line” which recently hit #2 on the Country iTunes Chart (NZ).
