Auckland region's biggest new year's party and one of the most memorable new year's festival experiences of the New Zealand summer.

AUM Festival returns for a 3 night+day celebration with 4 fully-themed stages, over 200 music, performing and visual artists, and held at a magical festival and camping location just an hour north of central Auckland.

AUM showcases local and international music, art, stage design, visuals, lights, and the highest quality sound systems. It is a new year's festival for serious music lovers with a wide range of underground electronic music including house and techno, psytrance, bass music, drum & bass, dub, downbeat, rock, chillout, disco and more.

AUM is New Zealand-owned and proud to support amazing local talent with DJs and live artists bringing 3 days and nights of world class fun.

We have a workshops zone and the Healing Glade zone for daytime fun and activities which include cirque sessions, art, drumming, dance, yoga, breathwork, massage and more. Plus chillout spots around the site and roaming performers doing special performances.

Over recent years, AUM has become internationally recognised for its music lineup diversity. Recent international artists have included drum and bass pioneer Roni Size), US organic house legends Dubtribe Sound System, breakbeat icon FreQ Nasty, progressive house's Dave Seaman and James Zabiela, and psytrance and psychedelic dub leaders Juno Reactor and Gaudi, plus many more.
