Experience
Rhythm & Alps
Situated in the stunning Cardrona Valley, in the mighty Southern Alps of New Zealand, R&A is only a short trip from Queenstown (40 minutes) or Wānaka (15 minutes) - but it feels like a world away.Surrounded by mountains, streams, and just down the road from Lake Wānaka, this valley is one of the most breathtaking festival backdrops in Aotearoa. Sunrise turns the peaks pink, the night sky glitters with stars, and the air feels as crisp as the beats rolling through the stages.
It’s more than just a setting - it’s part of the experience. The land shapes the sound, the light, and the vibe. Every step from the campsite to the dancefloor reminds you you’re celebrating New Year’s in one of the most beautiful places on earth.👉 This is why thousands travel here every year: for the music, and the magic of the valley itself.
