20 years. Countless memories. One unforgettable celebration.
Join us as we celebrate two decades of music, art, and community — from our humble beginnings on College Road to the three-day festival experience at Takapau today.
Revisit the worlds we’ve created along the way — from Under the Sea to Enchanted Forests, Down the Rabbit Hole and Stuck in the Machine to Up for a Revolution, Under the Big Top, In to Jungles, Galactic Highways, and beyond.
