Kia ora, hello, and welcome! You’ve just found your way to the 3rd addition of Oasis festival, and we couldn’t be more excited to have you here.
Last year we made a giant leap! from spending a week at the blue hole to an entire month in the Cobb valley, where we poured our hearts into building a full-scale Festival born from pure passion.
We hold so much gratitude to you all for partaking in last year's Oasis, as none of this was possible without you.
We laid the foundation, shaped the atmosphere, and built the framework for how we envision Oasis to grow.
This year, rather than leaping forward again, we are choosing to deepen our roots by refining our dream and devoting our energy into perfecting our vision.
Welcome to Oasis Festival 2025

WHAT TO EXPECT
SOUND SYSTEMS:
Sound quality is everything when it comes to creating a dance floor that’s truly immersive. That’s why we’re working with passionate, experienced sound engineers to deliver the crisp, high-quality audio we all enjoy.
Let’s be real, we’re bringing sound systems that hit hard, with chest-thumping bass and crisp highs that’ll light up your brain. But we’ve only got one set of ears, so our on-site audio team will keep things safe while still pushing the limits. Big sound, no regrets.
LINE UP:
The goal is to curate a progressive line up that caters to a wide range of musical tastes, and take you on a journey, creating an experience where everyone can find a connection to the music. We are mindful of having different genres on both stages, to create a variety for everyone to enjoy.
Featuring but not limited to:
DRUM AND BASS, DUBSTEP, HALF TIME, BASS, HIPHOP,
TECHNO, PROGRESSIVE, HOUSE, PSYTRANCE, LIVE PERFORMANCES.
LIGHTING/VISUALS:
This year, lighting steps into a new dimension - uniting Aotearoa’s leading laser, light, and projection artists to create mind-bending shows, immersive visuals, and a glowing landscape that transforms every walk into a visual journey.
WORKSHOP ZONE:
A portal within the festival..
Step into this sacred space to learn, create, and awaken. More than a space facilitating workshops, it’s a guided journey into new realms of self-expression and connection.
DRUMMING CIRCLE:
Step into the sacred circle where the heartbeat of music was born. No limits, just raw connection through rhythm, ancient chants, and the pulse of true expression.
CHILL ZONES:
From relaxing under a tree to dancing beneath shade sails, or chilling in our comfortable stretch tent, we are making sure there are plenty of cool, calm spaces for you to recharge.
STAGES:
2 immersive music zones, showcasing handmade stage builds styled with psychedelic paint design and intricate fabric work.
MARKET AREA:
Our vendors will have a wide range of offerings, ranging from food and drink, to unique clothing and jewellery to elevate your festival steez.
It’s important to take a break from the festivities, have a seat and indulge in some nourishment before diving back into your adventure.
FIRE SPINNING:
Gather around the glowing heart of the fire circle, where the night is set alight by the hypnotic dance of flames. Bring your staff, poi, and favorite fire props, to become part of a vibrant community of local fire artists as they light up the evening with captivating performances.
PSY-CARE/MEDIC:
Our goal is to make sure everyone has a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable festival experience.
If you’re ever feeling overwhelmed, need a moment to rest, or happen to take a tumble and get a cut, our kind and approachable PsyCare and Medic teams are always nearby and ready to support you.
GUARDIANS:
You’ll see security around the site, looking out for the space. They’re kind, approachable, and only here to keep the vibes safe and uplifted, helping prevent any issues before they arise.
Inclusive in your ticket purchase:
🚽Toilets
🚙Large/Small vehicles, parking and camping
💦Fresh drinking water
🗑️Rubbish and recycling bins- NO GLASS.
We honestly can’t thank you enough for the energy you bring. It’s something special to be surrounded by a community of people who all share the same passion, it’s what makes this whole thing so meaningful.

❣️The only boundaries in place are ❣️
❗️CONSENT❗️ It is polite to ask for consent before touching someone, even in situations like a hug. If you wouldn’t do it sober, then you shouldn’t do it intoxicated.
⛰️Respect the whenua/land. Please use the rubbish bins provided and keep your campsite clean, one big gust of wind can blow rubbish into the beautiful valley we are blessed to stomp in. NO GLASS.
🐶We love animals too, but this isn’t a safe space for them. Loud sound systems can seriously harm their sensitive ears, so please leave your fluffy companions at home.
❤️Be kind, welcoming, and respectful. This is a space created for us to drop our walls and be our true selves. Even a single negative comment or interaction can impact someone’s whole festival experience—so let’s lift each other up and spread the love.

We couldn’t be more hyped to gather with all in the Cobb Valley for this years addition of
