Jim Beam Homegrown

  • Location

    Wellington Waterfront

New Zealand’s biggest festival of local music is back in 2024 to take over Wellington’s waterfront.

Bringing together over 40 local acts across a range of genres, Jim Beam Homegrown is a celebration of Aotearoa’s music scene. With five stages set along the waterfront, delicious food, carnival rides, and interactive experiences, it’s the ultimate send-off for the summer season.
 
The lineup of bands and DJs ranges from reggae, roots, and hip-hop, to rock, pop, electronic, and drum and bass. Each stage covers a different genre, taking you on a musical journey across the festival site.

For Jim Beam Homegrown 2024, L.A.B makes their much-anticipated return. They’ll be joined by other local favourites like Stan Walker, Sons of Zion, Ladi6, Katchafire, David Dallas, Home Brew, and Kora.
 
Making their debut at the 2024 festival are Bic Runga and Teeks. Joined by a range of other new and established local talents, the 17th Jim Beam Homegrown is set to be one of the biggest festivals yet.
 
Tickets are on sale now.
