Billed as “a celebration of life, love, and the power of music and art” a popular Wairarapa music festival is set to host thousands of revellers.
More than 80 performers and artists will descend on the leafy grounds of a South Wairarapa racecourse for the three-day 121 Festival that has waited three years since the inaugural music festival in 2020.
Co-organiser Tim Ward said the event, which runs from March 10-12, was a celebration of music, art, and wellness and they were gearing up for an unforgettable event.
The line-up of world-class musicians and artists on multiple stages throughout the festival would be performing across multiple genres.
From house to techno, hip-hop to jazz it was some of the most diverse and exciting talent available at any New Zealand festival, Ward said.
Among some of the headline acts at this year’s festival are Anetha, Bradley Zero, FJAAK, LSDXOXO, Kettama, Peach, Overmono (live), and Avantdale Bowling Club.
But the music is just the beginning, Ward said, with 121 Festival and Newlife Studio joining forces to premier multimedia fashion show Don’t Grow Up! at the festival.
As part of its holistic approach to a good time, the festival was offering a stargazing event in collaboration with a former NASA employee and TEDx astrobiologist Hari Mogosanu.
“It promises to be an unforgettable experience that will deepen your understanding of our place in the cosmos,” Ward said.
