A bumper lineup of international and local acts has been revealed for next year’s Electric Avenue festival with two top-drawer names heading up proceedings.
The Prodigy and Chase & Status will both deliver headlining sets at Christchurch’s Hagley Park in February 2025.
The announcement comes less than a month after organisers confirmed the country’s biggest one-day music festival will expand to two days.
Several of the international artists booked will make exclusive New Zealand appearances, according to promoters.
Elsewhere, Empire of the Sun, Wilkinson, The Kooks, Rudimental, DJ Shadow, Khruangbin, Maribou State, Real Estate and Tash Sultana are the big drawcards of the international contingent.
Returning again to Hagley are several prominent local acts including L.A.B, Fat Freddy’s Drop and Shapeshifter, the latter joined by prior collaborators the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and Ladi6.
More than 50 artists will perform across four stages on 21-22 February.
