Jim Beam Homegrown is the stand out gig of the summer, proudly showcasing the cream of New Zealand music. As the last of the 17,000 tickets sold yesterday, Homegrown can proudly claim to be one of the only sold out events of its scale in New Zealand.

A sellout is nothing new for Homegrown as it has sold out on all five outings since 2008.

Event director Mark Wright attributes their success to two unique factors; “The strength of Kiwi music, which we shout that from the roof tops. Also a fantastic group of equally passionate sponsors and media partners who play a big part in championing its success”.

The festival showcases over 40 acts performing across 6 stages along the breadth of the Wellington Waterfront. Each year Homegrown has its own flavour and a stellar line-up. The impressive list of talent this year includes the likes of Shihad, OpShop, The Feelers, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Six60, David Dallas, Kids of 88, P Money, Bulletproof, The Adults and Tiki Taane to name just a few.
