Bay Dreams 2020
It's official! The dates for the biggest NZ summer festival, Bay Dreams, are now locked in. Much-awaiting fans are in for a treat as the festival hits Mt Maunganui on January 1 (pre-party) and January 2, and Nelson on January 3 (pre-party) and January 4 next year with its exciting lineup in tow.
Bay Dreams 2020 will raise the bar yet again—promising to deliver a world-class event with top class production, a lineup that's second to none and a stunning lay-out that'll complete the overall festival experience.
"Bay Dreams will always continue to focus on bringing the best lineups to the country, however, I am excited for our team to place an equal focus on creative production, added facilities, improved crowd management, and new experiential elements working alongside some amazing new partner brands." - Mitch Lowe, Bay Dreams festival director
"We can't wait to step it up once again for you all. Our team has been working harder than ever to bring New Zealand a world class festival." - Pato Alvarez, Bay Dreams festival director
