121 Music Festival Set To Let Loose In Wairarapa With 80 Performers - Techno Pedia

Billed as a "celebration of life, love, and the power of music and the arts", the Wairarapa Music Festival will welcome thousands of revelers.

More than 80 artists and performers will descend on the stunning grounds of South Wairarapa Racecourse for the 121 three-day festival in 2020, three years after the musical's premiere.

Organizer Tim Ward said the March 10-12 event was a celebration of music, art and well-being and it would be an unforgettable event.

"We've been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring you experiences like these, and we're excited to finally share them."

The first session of 121 in 2020 attracted 3,000 guests and 5,000 booked last year but had to cancel due to Covid restrictions.

World-class musicians and artists from various genres will perform at various festival stops.

From house to techno, hip-hop to jazz, it's one of the most diverse and exciting talents of any festival in New Zealand, says Ward.

This year's festival headliners are Anetha, Bradley Zero, FJAAK, LSDXOXO, Kettama, Peach, Overmono (live) and Avantdale Bowling Club.

But the music was just the beginning, says Ward, when 121 Festival and Newlife Studio joined forces to release Don't Grow Up. during the party

Ward said there are still plenty of tickets available for this year's event and the long-term prospects are good.

As part of its comprehensive approach to entertainment, the festival features an astroview with former NASA employee and TEDx astrobiologist Harry Mogosanu.

"This promises to be an unforgettable experience that will deepen our understanding of our place in the universe," said Ward.

One of the standout features of Organizer 121 is long-lasting credentials.

They are trying hard to reduce waste as guests will have to bring their own water bottles as there will be no single use bottles.

"So we're betting our sales on saving the planet," Ward said.

"We can control what goes to the site, which must in turn be processed and removed from the site."
