Detonate Festival - bigger, faster, harder and louder than any other New Year's Eve experience yet.

It's not your usual New Year's party. Thundering, heart stopping explosions, sky high fireballs, crazy stunts and the hottest Kiwi bands, DJs and entertainment.

While Detonate 2009 will be hard to beat, the organisers have cooked up big plans for 2010 and the guests are in for a party of epic proportions.  If you are looking for something a little different from the 'franchise' New Year's Eve festival experience, you will definitely find it in Taranaki this year! 

"We wanted to bring our punters a festival that was fresh and new, a party that is different from the other festivals' say organisers Mark and Nat. "Detonate is something else, it's relentless action, it's in your face, it's totally exciting.  We have listened to our punters and we are delivering what they want, the best and most explosive way to see in the New Year"

An absolutely killer line-up is in store for this year: Steriogram, Autozamm, Motocade, These Four Walls, Pistol Youth, The Rabble, November Zulu and more on the main stage. In our .LTD Dance Zone, talented local and national DJs will be spinning up a storm into the early hours.

Detonate truly lives up to its name, over 50 explosive effects will be rocking the party including exploding cars, swimming pools and huge fireballs.  And interactive bombs! Push the button on the Fitzroy Engineering fireball generator and let off your own explosion or write your regret on the Forget the Regret Car, if you've got the best regret, you get to blow the car to smithereens!

Detonate 2010 also has surprise stunts, a Paintball Gauntlet, three Detonate Mudslides, gyro rides, helicopter rides with Precision Helicopters, revolving interactive entertainment like Zorb, Sumo and Fly-On-The-Wall, food and drink stalls, merchandise from local suppliers, a band signing tent, an R18 licensed area and still much more.  Free camping is available onsite. Or catch the bus!  Buses are available to pick you up from New Plymouth and drop you back again in the New Year.

At just $80 a ticket, get in fast as they won't last long. Tickets are available at http://www.iticket.co.nz/events/2010/dec/detonate-festival/. Ticket numbers are limited so make sure that you secure yours early!

Detonate Festival is all about bombs, music, pyrotechnics, good entertainment and good times.  It’s something a little different from your usual NYE festival.  It’s more about adrenaline, the deafening, heart stopping explosions, sky high fireballs…..while getting amongst it with your favorite Kiwi bands and DJs.

BOMBS BOMBS BOMBS


Oh yes, bombs.  We have a qualified and trained pyrotechnician/stuntman, who will be ‘detonating’ bombs and pyrotechnics all day long and we have something special planned for New Year’s Eve too.

STUNTS


At Detonate 09 Precision Helicopters dropped a caravan from 400 meters high!  This year we have some crazy suprise stunts lined up, expect the unexpected!  Who knows what we’ll do!

MUSIC


There are two stages at Detonate:

The Rock Radio Main Stage – has some of New Zealand’s finest acts playing from 12.30pm on the 31st of Dec until around 2am on the 1st of Jan.  Ten bands ranging from soft rock to punk and everything in between.

The Most LTD Dance Zone – Local and National DJ’s ripping it up from 12am on the 31st of dec until 6am on the 1st of Jan.

MUDSLIDE


Like getting down and dirty in the mud?  During the day the three Detonate Mudslides will be running: Tom Thumb Slide, Detonate Slide and Crazy Pyro Slide (for the extreme players).  We recommend you bring some old clothes and a towel.

PAINTBALL GAUNTLET


You can either be the hunter of the hunted.  Drink tokens will be up for grabs for the runner that makes it through the gauntlet, or the sharp shooter the brings the runner down.

FORGET THE REGRET


Do you want to blow up our car?

We are going to put a car in the festival arena at Detonate along with some marker pens, all you have to do is write your biggest regret of 2010 on it, and if you have the best regret you get to blow the car up!

THE LTD ARTSPACE


Local and invited graffiti artists creating an original feast for your eyeballs that takes shape as the day progress’s, and as the bombs get bigger and the music gets louder this wall of art will blow minds with the talent these artist’s will display!
Proudly put together by ltd clothing, Devon St, New Plymouth

FOOD


We can’t let you guys go hungry during the festival, so we have got some awesome local providers signed up to make sure that your tummies are full up, so you can keep going all night.

THIRST QUENCHERS


Thirsty?  Get into it.  As well as the usuals from our licensed bar areas, there will be non-alcoholic options as well, all for very reasonable prices!

MARKETS


Check out the markets while you party on down.  Detonate Festival merchandise will be available for purchase on the day, make sure you are the envy of all your mates in some of our primo Detonate Merchandise.

ACCOMMODATION


There is FREE camping available onsite at Detonate.  It’s on a first come, best site basis.  Let’s make sure everyone is comfy cosy.  The camping site will be open from 12am on the 31st and is included in your ticket price.

TRANSFERS TO/FROM NEW PLYMOUTH


Drink driving sucks – we want to make sure that all our guests get to and from the festival safely, in one piece and NOT in the back of a paddy wagon.  There will be buses to Detonate Festival, check out the BUS page under Festival Info for further details.

DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE.  That’s a fool’s mission.
