Aum New Year’s Festival

AUM is a family friendly, music, arts and camping festival featuring performance and visual art, health and learning workshops, and themed nights held across multiple music stages and zones.

AUM takes place at an idyllic location surrounded by coastal Kānuka forest located at South Head an hour north of central Auckland.

We are Aotearoa New Zealand’s joyful, inclusive, loving, community spirit event. New Year’s 2024 is our 10th anniversary festival and we’ve already announced the first of a stellar lineup of music artists from Aotearoa and around the world. Welcome.

MUSIC

Music is sacred at AUM. Our dance-floors are our church. We aim to bring you the most soul uplifting sounds from Aotearoa and internationally – the most cutting-edge music lineups with a commitment to quality, not what’s trendy. Music lovers love AUM for the consistently high quality year after year.

Expect the most delicious aural vibes created by some of the most talented musicians. Expect the psychedelic. Expect to be moved by our state-of-the-art sound systems and enchanted by our themed stages and decor which are created new each year.

The AUM 2024 music lineup is a musical feast of psytrance, house and techno, drum & bass, psychedelic rock, dub, downbeat, bass music, breaks, chill-out, 80s classics and more scheduled across four themed stages.

CREATIVITY

AUM is about creating something new every year as a platform for the music, art and activities we love.

We invite and encourage all kinds of incredible performance, visual art, ideas, interactions and creativity, and support the beautiful artists of all kinds whom we are privileged to have in our lives. Each year, we commit to offering artists from Aotearoa prominence on our lineup and to encourage and showcase fresh talent.

Whether at the Midnight Cabaret or Daytime Gala shows, playing live at The Hub, creating visual art, or attending fun workshops, the creativity on offer is a wonderful experience for all.

COMMUNITY

AUM Festival is a love story that began with the sentence: “Let’s create an event and feel the joy of giving & receiving. Together. As a community.”

Our gorgeous, sustainable, original, friendly and safe events bring beautiful, like-minded people and tribes together to celebrate as one.

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