🌲 OCTOBLAST'26: THE GRAND AWAKENING OF THE SUMMER JOURNEY 🌲
The forest is calling us back to life! 🌿 After a long winter of rest, the gates of Te Arai are finally swinging open for the very first festival of the summer season! ☀️ Emerge from the stillness, gather your crew, and step into a sacred realm where the warm months begin! 🌌✨
🎨 THREE MUSIC COMMUNITIES, ONE UNIFIED SOUL 🎨
We are bringing 3 distinct music worlds together into one massive, beautiful family! 🙌 No boundaries, just pure energy across our multiple custom spaces and zones:
🔊 Three Fluid Music Stages : Each of our three custom stages will completely evolve from sunrise to deep night, shifting fluidly across a massive spectrum of electronic music to match any mood or craving. Whether you need heavy Techno heartbeats, cosmic Psytrance infinity, deep Bass resonance, or soulful live chill music, the sonic journey adapts flawlessly to your frequency.
🧠 One Workshop Area : A dedicated sanctuary of deep stillness away from the beats where timeless wisdom, healing, connection, and ideas are shared.
🎸 The Hidden Layers : Live bands, performance & circus arts, a vibrant market village, and a bunch of secret forest surprises waiting to be unearthed by the curious.
✨ STEP INTO THE UNKNOWN ✨
Our visionary artists are completely transforming the forest canopy into an otherworldly playground. 🌲🎨 Custom, mind-bending decor will transport you into a completely new dimension where anything is possible.
We are taking the foundations of everything you loved, refining the setup, and leveling up the frequency to build something even greater! 🚀
💡 A Note on Our Growth: We do not simply repeat the past, we evolve. The true purpose of our gathering is to transcend our former selves, to grow deeper together, and to bring our absolute best energy to the dance floor! 🔥

✨ CO-CREATE THE MAGIC: ARTIST APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN ✨
Are you ready to share your vibration with our tribe? We are officially calling all Sonic Magicians (DJs & Music Producers) and Earth Heartbeats (Live Bands) to help co-create the ultimate dance floor. Aotearoa’s electronic and live scenes are blasting higher than ever, and no matter your sub-genre or flow, we want to hear your unique vibration beneath the canopy.
