New Zealand's Twominds Festival has marked its fifth year with a bold social media announcement, teasing a fresh new look and signalling that major lineup news is on the way before the end of October. Soundtracked by HAAi and Echnomist's "Ignition," the post set an energetic tone for what the festival is calling its most ambitious edition yet, with Twominds 2027 scheduled to run from 11th–14th March, 2027.

The biggest structural change for 2027 is the expansion of the festival footprint on both ends of the weekend. For the first time in the event's history, camping opens on Thursday 11th March, giving attendees the chance to arrive early, set up camp, and enjoy a selection of smaller stages warming things up before the main programme kicks off. It's a move designed to ease punters into the experience with a relaxed, community-driven vibe from the outset.

Equally exciting is the news that Sunday has been transformed into a full music day, with programming running throughout, and the option to stay Sunday night and depart on Monday morning. Together, these changes give festival-goers a longer, more immersive experience than any previous Twominds edition, building on the strong foundation the festival established across its first four years.

Registration opens Monday, and with full lineup announcements expected later this month, momentum is already building fast. If the 2026 edition's sprawling roster of local and international talent is anything to go by, year five looks set to be the standout chapter in Twominds Festival's young but impressive history. Round up your crew and keep your eyes on the festival's channels for what promises to be some very exciting news.
