New Zealand's homegrown festival heroes Shapeshifter will be leading up the star-studded bill for 'New Year's Eve 2019' at Coromandel' Joe's Farm this December. Playing alongside them are five major big-hitters Sachi, JessB, The Upbeats, Tiki Taane and Sunshine Sound System. Other acclaimed hitmakers like Chaii, Tom Verberne and Solomon Crook will also be joining the already stellar NYE bill.
As we enter into a new decade and ring in the New Year, the Joe's Farm Campsite brings you the Afternoon Delight Stage. With its own fully set up food and beverage area to cater to those who are preparing to settle in for a final 2019 party, the stage will set the tone early in the day by smashing out good music, vibes and food from 1pm to 4:30pm. Organisers will open the campground from 10am on December 31st, so music fans can get into the new, lush venue early to set themselves up and get on with bidding farewell to the decade and welcoming in 2020!
This year's New Year's Eve event promises to be a full-throttle, epic party—celebrating the start of another year of great music!
Shapeshifter
PDigsss (vocals), Sam Trevethick (guitar/synths), Dan McGruer, Nick Robinson (bass/synths/MPC) and Darren Mathiassen (drums) make up Shapeshifter. Together, they create their unique landscape of aural genius—captivating hearts all around the world. The group have been known for their stadium-sized sound which adds layers of drum 'n' bass, jazz, funk, rock and electronica to solid bass culture foundations—capable of morphing from rolling D&B to pummelling guitar-driven jams to horizon-shifting electronic soundscapes. With their spanning career of more than a decade, Shapeshifter have given audiences a genre-defining experience they want to relive time and time again.
Sachi
Born from a shared love of songwriting, production and catalysing euphoric live shows, childhood friends Nick Chrisp and Will Thomas make up Kiwi live electronic-pop group, Sachi. Having performed extensively across Australasia and more recently North America, Sachi's energetic live show is excitingly refined.
JessB
Much more than a promising talent, JessB burst onto the hip hop scene in 2017 with a string of tracks that showed the newcomer was here to stay. Since releasing her debut EP 'Bloom', she has been consistently expanding her world by continuing to deliver compelling roof-raising performances both here at home and around the globe.
The Upbeats
Their unique take on 170bpm+ bass music has seen them make their home in the highest echelons of dance music worldwide. Known for their organic and natural sounding drums, and renowned for clocking up over a hundred shows a year, The Upbeats are a pillar in the D&B community and a firm favourite at major festivals worldwide.
Tiki Taane
Acclaimed artist and producer Tiki Taane is considered to be an influential element in the pioneering of New Zealand's bass culture. Affectionately known as NZ's "King of the Dub", the audience are always reminded of the sheer power of Tiki's ability to unify, warm and wow as he seamlessly delivers a unique performance experience.
Sunshine Sound System
Formed in 2000, Sunshine Sound System have grown to include a main touring lineup that typically includes DTB, Stauny Pops and KPz and special guests galore. A Sunshine set delivers lots of fresh bootlegs, a bit of reggae and dub, plenty of hip hop, dancehall and original skool soul and funk.
