Bring in New Years with good people, good music & good times

AUM is more than a festival. It’s three unforgettable days of music, art and connection. Enjoy world-class music, performance and visual art, workshops, and themed nights held across multiple music stages and zones.

AUM is one of Aotearoa’s friendliest, good-vibes festivals — and one of the longest-running NZ-owned festivals too. We champion Kiwi talent, art, community, sustainability and care for the environment, welcoming people from all walks of life both onstage and off.

Join us for three nights and days of New Year’s magic at a beautiful camping spot in South Head, just north of Auckland.

MUSIC FOR MUSIC LOVERS

Music is revered at AUM. We bring you the most soul-uplifting sounds from NZ and around the world, with cutting edge music lineups and a commitment to quality, not what’s trendy.

Music lovers love AUM for its consistently high quality year after year. Expect delicious vibes. Expect to be moved by state-of-the-art sound systems and enchanted by themed stages and decor.

AUM showcases some of the best in house and techno, psychedelic trance, drum & bass, bass music, dub, psychedelic rock, breaks, chill-out, disco and more across four themed stages.

CREATIVITY

AUM is a platform for the music, art and activities we love.

We encourage all kinds of performance, visual art, ideas, interaction and creativity. We support the talented artists of all kinds whom we are privileged to showcase. Each year we offer Kiwi talents prominence on our lineup to champion homegrown talent.

Whether at our Midnight Cabaret or daytime gala shows, creating visual art, or attending fun workshops, the creativity on offer is a wonderful experience for all.

COMMUNITY

Our original, friendly event brings beautiful, like-minded people and tribes together to celebrate as one.

What is important to us? Inclusiveness. Kindness and love. Integrity. Friendship.
