Get Ready for Festival One 2026!

We’re back for our 12th year of unforgettable music, art, community, and faith – all set against the stunning backdrop of Karāpiro whenua at Hartford Farm.

Festival One isn’t just another event; it’s a celebration like no other. Since its debut in the summer of 2015, we’ve weathered a decade of challenges and triumphs – from last-minute cancellations in 2022 to a weather washout in 2023. Yet, through it all, our community keeps coming back stronger. Every year, a wave of sun-soaked festival-goers from every corner of Aotearoa gather to pitch their tents and share in the magic.

Over the past 12 years, our stages have been graced by incredible artists like Charity Gayle, Amanda Cook, We Are Messengers, Tekoa, Lauren Daigle, For King & Country, Switchfoot, Citizens, Kings Kaleidoscope, John Mark McMillan, NF, Social Club Misfits, Bethel Music, Tenth Avenue North, and hundreds more. Alongside them, inspiring speakers such as Reuben Munn, Rikk E. Watts, Sam Bloore, and Mary Bielski have ignited hearts and minds. And let’s not forget the two tonnes of free meat and a vibe that words simply can’t capture.

We’re beyond excited to invite you to experience the magic again this summer. Grab your tickets, gather your whānau, and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime. Festival One ’26 – Let’s do it all over again!
