Electric Avenue 2027 Lineup.jpg

Electric Avenue has unveiled its 2027 lineup, and it is an absolute statement of intent. Calvin Harris and Kings of Leon will headline the two-day Christchurch festival when it returns to Hagley Park on 26th–27th February, 2027, marking the event's twelfth year as one of New Zealand's premier outdoor music experiences. Festival director Callam Mitchell described the pairing as a reflection of Electric Avenue's growth, noting that having two global stadium-level headliners alongside such a diverse supporting cast has become the event's defining hallmark.

Calvin Harris will perform his only New Zealand show of the trip, making it his first appearance in the country since 2019, while Kings of Leon's set will mark their first Christchurch performance in 19 years. The US rock outfit are also gearing up to release their new album, O My Beloved, in November. Beyond the headliners, the bill is stacked with exclusive New Zealand performances from Jungle, Tove Lo, Kehlani and Underworld, alongside Major Lazer, Bebe Rexha, Kasabian, Gorgon City, Wilkinson, Lime Cordiale and drum and bass heavyweights Hybrid Minds and K Motionz.

Local talent features prominently across both days, with Fat Freddy's Drop, Th' Dudes, Savage, Daily J and Louis Baker among the Friday acts, and Ladyhawke, Home Brew, SACHI and Coterie joining Saturday's bill. Demand has been extraordinary, with an initial 32,000-ticket allocation selling out in under an hour back in April, leaving around 15,000 tickets still available across the festival. Final general admission weekend passes, single-day tickets and VIP options go on sale at 12pm on 24th September, 2026.

With exclusive performances, a genuine cross-generational lineup and tickets moving fast, this is one summer festival that deserves to be on every music lover's radar well before doors open in February.

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.
