Surrounded by gorgeous natural wonders and close to many beaches, forests, rivers and scenic attractions.

With a strong focus on underground, experimental & eclectic electronica blended with a balanced mix of live music, performers and so much mor
e. Twisted Frequency has something for everyone.

We aim to take the listeners on a complete journey from the beginning of the festival to its end and strive to create a unique musical experience for all. Opening new appreciations and ways of thinking & letting collaborations form and grow inspired by flow and diversity within the community. Bringing one of the biggest and broadest line ups of international and local producers, DJs and live acts to Te Waipounamu and combining that with a true kiwi artistic aesthetic promoting organic design and graff culture. All nestled within the natural surrounds it is not surprising to see how Twisted Frequency Festival has grown over the years. With that said we are nearing our expected capacity and in an effort to keep this event intimate in nature we are limiting the available tickets for this year’s installment. Huge festivals are great but something which makes our culture so awesome is the smaller numbers which means we all can get the most out of our time away, connect with everyone as well as better preserve the lands and waters for the years to come. Twisted Frequency Festival boasts a range of different stages each with their own musical direction and style. Expect a delicious array of local produce in the market and plenty of interesting wares from gifted artists and craftspeople. Expect a treat for all the senses, over the years we have brought a range of visual artists into the mix and this year will be no exception; with a variety of interesting sculpture, art, psychedelic decor as well as live graffiti, and digital visuals. The Twisted Frequency Festival collective have always had a strong focus on high quality audio and strive to provide the ultimate audio visual outdoor experience. Since our inception, we have been teamed up with the some of the TOP audio companies to bring the finest of outdoor sound systems in New Zealand into the forests of Golden Bay. There are two main camping areas at Twisted Frequency Festival. Attendees are welcome to camp where they like and can camp with their vehicles. (weather and space permitting) The site is easy to travel around and while we encourage those willing to bring their bicycles it is not necessary to get around the site as the camping area, zones and amenities are all easily walked to. Please check out our website for advice on what to bring and pack accordingly.

Protect Papatuanuku (The Earth Mother)
Onsite there is access to a beautiful river which is suitable for swimming and great for fossicking. It is important for people bathing in the river and living on the land to be mindful of any products they may be using and to not introduce any potentially toxic materials. New Zealand has a very delicate ecosystem and is facing the perils of introduced plants and algae’s. Please take care not to expose the river to any swimming gear or other items that have been exposed to other bodies of fresh water (without being properly washed.) Please help conserve our unique flora and fauna. Do not remove any living creatures or plants from the river or native bush. Both the Kirirua (Long Fin Eel) and the Koura (Freshwater Crayfish) are endangered and protected. If you see them let them be. Twisted Frequency Festival would like to see a stronger focus in our community develop surrounding the use of alcohol and our impact on the environment. Twisted Frequency continues to be an alcohol-free event and glass is not permitted on site. We implore our guests to try minimise the amount of rubbish they bring to the festival as well as to be conscious of what effect they are having on the environment both physically and energetically. Please be aware that you are expected to pack out what you pack in. Rubbish and recycling bags are made available upon entry. A principle we have always held is to help people learn to live and love this beautiful planet. This year we will hear from a multitude of speakers in our workshop space on topics such as conservation, permaculture, eco activism and many other paths of thought to promote sustainability and move forward into a greener world for future generations. Respect the Iwi (People)
Twisted Frequency Festival is an open and accepting environment for all walks of life. All those attending the event are required to show respect to all those around them especially the local residents. We have a zero tolerance for violence or harassment of any kind and will remove anyone who is found to be in breach of this simple code of conduct. If you see someone in duress alert the festival security. The safety and health of our extended family is of utmost importance so be aware of the personal space and happiness of others. Be conscious of consent in all aspects and If you see anyone negatively affecting another attendee please make us aware. Twisted Frequency Festival is proud to support the "Psy Care" space which is staffed by a wonderful team of kind hearted individuals. If you feel uneasy or need a quiet space with someone you can talk to you will find their zone an inviting space. An onsite medical team will be present should you have any health concerns or injuries. Please remember to take extra care on the roads when traveling to and from the event. Traffic can be heavy over the holiday period and the roads here in New Zealand maybe smaller and windier than your used to so take it easy and enjoy the scenery. If you do not have transport sorted or you wish to share the journey with others you can join the Carpooling page and link up with like-minded travelers. We all love your “Doggo's, Woofers and Puppers” but please make suitable arrangements for while you plan to be away. Dogs are not permitted on site. Anybody who brings their dog will not be allowed into the festival so save us all some drama and be sure to plan ahead. Water is available on site but it is important that you bring your own drinking water for the duration of the festival.
