R&A TEXT HELPLINE

This year we are offering a text helpline that will connect you directly with support staff. If you or someone you know need help during the festival you can text "ASSIST" and what's up to 260.

You'll be immediately connected to our on-site team.

Travelling Safely

Wanaka transport Jackson Lana 3

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA)

The roads around Wānaka this time of year are very busy and can be extremely dangerous. Travelling to and from a music festival introduces other potential risk factors such as alcohol, fatigue and distraction. Take breaks, drive well-rested and ALWAYS have a designated sober driver.

If you're attending locally, we also partner with Yello! to offer handy bus services.

Our mates at the NZTA have put together heaps of info to help you plan your journey; find out more below!
