New Year's festival Rhythm & Alps announces first lineup including Dope Lemon and Sampa the Great

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

Australian acts Dope Lemon and rapper Sampa The Great are amongst a bill of about 40 artists heading to the South Island for the three-day Rhythm & Alps festival to bring in the new year.

Dance music favourite Andy C and Manchester DJ Bou​ will fly over from the UK with drum and bass DJ Harriet Jaxxon.

Acts from Brazil, Sweden and Germany are also scheduled to perform alongside homegrown talents including Concord Dawn, Flaxxies, Kora, and breakout Soundcloud rapper Lil Bubblegum.

“This year we have focused on a very diverse lineup and building probably the newest and most dynamic stage in the country,” festival organiser Alex Turnbull said.

The festival runs from December 29 to 31 at Cardrona Valley, Wānaka. A second lineup announcement is expected in late August. Tickets are available now.
