Soundsplash returns with exciting news

Soundsplash returns with exciting news

Raglan’s renowned Soundsplash Festival is set to return in 2019, with some exciting changes afoot and an epic line-up to be revealed in the coming weeks.

The boutique multi-genre event will be held in the picturesque Wainui Reserve, right on Raglan’s internationally famed coastline, on January 18, 19 and 20.

The 2019 festival is gearing up to be one of next summer’s ‘bucket list’ events and
also sees the expansion of the Soundsplash family, with promoters Pato Entertainment and Audiology coming on board, alongside the event’s long-time organisers, Brian Ruawai and Naomi Tuao.

With a lengthy 14-year history, Soundsplash is one of New Zealand’s pioneer summer music festivals. Over the years it’s played host to acts such as Six60, Drax Project, Shapeshifter, TEEKS, Ocean Alley, Sticky Fingers and The Black Seeds.

Pato Alvarez (Pato Entertainment) and Mitch Lowe (Audiology) are proud to be involved in such an iconic event.

“We are stoked to announce the partnership with Brian and Naomi,” says Pato Alvarez. “They have some really cool things in place which give Soundsplash a nice vibe and energy. And we love that they’ve initiated a Zero Waste Policy.”
