Aw man, end of an era. So many memories there, gonna miss the old spot 😢

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T05:07:49.000Z

yeah nah I'm on your side, so many memories but it had to end

Tom Harris2026-07-21T04:38:49.000Z

good. maybe they'll move somewhere with actual infrastructure instead of dirt and portaloos every year

Morgan Lee2026-07-21T04:52:49.000Z

where they moving to then? or is it just gonna fizzle out like every other nz festival

Mia Carter2026-07-21T05:01:49.000Z

zero sympathy for the whingers. you knew what you were getting when you bought tickets

Zoe King2026-07-21T05:10:49.000Z

aha so they squeezed every last dollar outta gisborne and now they're off. classic corporate move.

Honestly Waiohika was a nightmare to get in and out of. Not sad to see it go tbh

Hana Stewart2026-07-21T05:44:49.000Z

worked security there for 3 years. that paddock was a health and safety disaster waiting to happen. bout time.

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T06:04:49.000Z

bet the locals are cheering. every year the same complaints about noise and rubbish

My first festival was R&V 2008. Gonna miss that lineup of dust and regret, but still love it haha

Riley Scott2026-07-21T06:26:49.000Z

ffs another one bites the dust. nz events scene is cooked

Hayden Kelly2026-07-21T06:39:49.000Z

read the article - they're not shutting down, just moving. evolution makes sense, the old site was limiting

Morgan Lee2026-07-21T06:57:49.000Z

facts. they'll just rebrand and charge more. same old story

Zoe King2026-07-21T07:19:49.000Z
