Following the success of the first Gladstonebury Festival this year on 1st April 2017 we are seeking expressions of interest from musicians and performers for next years event to be held on Wellington Anniversary weekend, Sunday 21st January 2018.

Last years festival sold out quickly with a boutique audience of just 400. This year the management team are upping the ticket sales so accommodate more people but the numbers will still be capped at boutique festival levels.

Gladstonebury Festival is aimed at up and coming music and our audiences want to be delighted by something they haven’t heard before. Gladstonebury is a festival of music, crafts, good food and great wine based in the small village of Gladstone at Gladstone Vineyard in Wairarapa.

The festival is aimed at music consumers who want to find the next big thing, and features bands that haven’t made a big name for themselves yet. Maybe they’ve got a vibe going on around them at local level, but they haven’t necessarily stepped up to the next level.

Bands that would do well at the festival would be original bands who are out gigging and recording regularly with a unique twist or sound to their music. Bands can have a few covers in their set but we aren’t looking for bands that play covers. This festival is aimed at original music and giving a platform to musicians who wouldn’t necessarily play a festival.

Expressions of interest will close on 31st October.
