PREPARE TO ROCK THIS NEW YEARS!
Looking to do something a little bit different for New Year’s Eve? Detonate Festival is a brand new, Taranaki based, New Year’s Eve Rock festival and it’s not your usual New Year’s party. It’s more about adrenaline, pyrotechnics, deafening, heart stopping explosions and sky high fireballs…..while rocking out with your favourite Kiwi bands and DJs.
Since preparations began in July, Detonate Festival has hit the ground running. The location has been confirmed at Mohakatino Station, five minutes south of Mokau, and bands have begun signing up to the bill with LUGER BOA, DEJA VOODOO, NOVEMBER ZULU and CLAP CLAP RIOT confirmed to play at this year’s festival. Freestyle motorcross riders will be performing during the day, the Detonate Mudslide will be running, there will be food, drink and merchandise markets from local suppliers and an R18 licensed area.
Accommodation is available onsite and, as Detonate is a family friendly event, there will be a family camping area provided so that the young ones can rest easy while the party continues on into the night. Don’t want to stay? Catch the bus! Buses have been arranged to pick up guests from Puke Ariki in New Plymouth and drop them back again after New Year’s Eve. Just check the bus option when buying your ticket online on our website.
What makes Detonate different from the other festivals is the bombs. Our pyrotechnician will be ‘detonating’ bombs and pyrotechnics all day long, leading up to a 250kg monster in the afternoon. But it doesn’t stop there, make sure you catch the pyrotechnics during the night and at New Year’s Eve, as well as a few surprises during the day. More information is available on the Detonate website: www.detonatefestival.co.nz or email: We hope to see you there!
