Rhythm & Vines has officially released its 2025 set times and festival map, giving punters everything they need to plan their end-of-year adventure at Waiohika Estate in Tairāwhiti, Gisborne. Running from 29th to 31st December, the iconic New Zealand festival returns with one of its strongest lineups yet, blending global stars, homegrown heroes and exclusive performances.

The set times confirm a high-energy New Year’s Eve featuring Wilkinson, Notion, Kanine, and Lee Mvtthews leading the midnight charge. Kid Cudi headlines on 29th December in his only NZ performance, with support from Turnstile, Fcukers and Jane Remover. 30th December brings an eclectic mix with L.A.B, Maribou State, 070 Shake, and Emily Makis, while the late-night zones stay open well into the early hours each night.

New artists revealed with the schedule include Keli Holiday, Fovos, Emwa, Lucy, Crown, Twofaced, Deep Notion, Versah, and Jawbreakers—adding even more flavour to an already stacked bill. With acts spread across four stages—One NZ Vines, Rhythm, Cellar, and Garden—there’s something for every taste, from drum & bass and house to hip hop, pop, and indie.
