Once upon a time, Te Mata, the little big 245m rocky mountain got bored with being a mere paddock and aspired to roll: NorthSYDE was born:
The vast plateau provides plenty of room for dancing and moshing pits in front of the stage thanks to the state-of-the-art sound system.
Or relax and sit in the grass underneath mature Tea Tree, Totaras and Kahikateas indulging in local deli favourites.
If you want to get away from it all, why not camp here free for the night and retire to your tent for a while.
Watch this space for further lineup announcements.
The earlybird ticket sale will start mid 2010 on www.eventfinder.co.nz and selected outlets in Whangarei.
Nearby are Bream Bay beaches 15 min away, the Waipu Caves 8 min, both with campgrounds.
Find us 8 km uphill on tarsealed Springfield Road off SH1 @ Oakleigh Service Station, Whangarei is 20km north of us, AKL CBD 134km south.
