Welcome to Nowhere is returning next February for its fifth annual music and arts festival!
Hosted by Pōneke-based Eyegum Music Collective, the two-day indie festival will be held over Waitiangi weekend at an
idyllic location somewhere near Whanganui. Some of New Zealand’s most talented and exciting artists will showcase a
diverse offering of music, poetry, comedy and visual art against a backdrop of regenerating native bush and birdsong.
Lucky campers will get the chance to spend a couple of long summer days and nights immersed in a festival experience
that is entirely unique. Festival goers will be able to dance to bands from all over Aotearoa and listen to award
winning poets, all while lazing in the swimming hole. Attendees can check out carefully curated art displays or catch an
afternoon comedy set as the sun goes down over rolling green hills and limestone ravines. Now in the festival’s fifth
year, Eyegum is expanding the event to include an all new stage and added camping capacity. We reckon Welcome to Nowhere
2021 is set to be the best one yet.
We are excited to announce the second round of incredible artists to add to the line up for Welcome to Nowhere 2021!
