Sanctuary Sounds Music Festival

Sanctuary Sounds is a not-for-profit music festival showcasing an eclectic mix of music from all over New Zealand and abroad.

We know the economic struggle is real, we feel it too, we are all in it together! So, we want to ensure that if you can afford any festival this summer you can afford a weekend at Sanctuary! NONE of our prices are going up!! In fact, we've engaged a new ticket provider so you spend even LESS on booking fees - making this year's ticket price
cheaper!!!! We've also added, by popular request, a discounted teenager ticket so the whole family can come.

Kids 13 years and younger are Free!
Camping is Free!

Please be sure to add your camping space to your ticket. The TOP paddock is reserved for long-wheel based caravans that may scrape bottom while traversing the hill crossing the ford. 98% of caravans, busses, and trucks traverse the hill and ford with no trouble. If in doubt, use a spotter and always go slow. If you can easily cross to the back paddock for camping, please do.
