Electric Avenue has confirmed its return for 2027, locking in dates for 26th - 27th February, 2027 at Hagley Park in Christchurch, New Zealand. Following another sold out edition earlier this year, the festival continues to cement itself as one of the Southern Hemisphere’s standout summer events, with presale tickets set to go live on 9th April at 8am.

The announcement arrives off the back of a massive 2026 edition that showcased a diverse, cross-genre lineup. Highlights included NZ exclusive performances from Split Enz, Dom Dolla, Becky Hill and Sammy Virji, alongside standout sets from Basement Jaxx, The Streets and Pendulum performing live.

The festival’s ability to balance international headliners with homegrown talent remained a key strength, with L.A.B, Leisure, Drax Project and Kora representing New Zealand’s thriving music scene. Acts like Ocean Alley, Royel Otis and Leftfield added further depth, delivering a weekend that appealed across generations and genres.

With dates now confirmed and anticipation already building, Electric Avenue 2027 is expected to deliver another high-demand lineup in the months ahead. As Christchurch prepares to welcome back tens of thousands of festivalgoers, the next edition is shaping up to be another defining moment on New Zealand’s festival calendar.
