RUAPUKE ROOTS FESTIVAL - 2ND EDITION

Ruapuke, Raglan

Based in the remote western coastal spot of Ruapuke is Aotearoa's premier reggae and Dub Festival. After a sold out first edition in 2015 it returns for 3 day in February 2018 to the outdoor paradise with a host of local and international acts. A limited number of spot available for this event which showcases the growing n

umber of New Zealand Sound systems from small to large and with a plethora of musical options for classic reggae sound lovers. An all ages, all tribes welcome, roots and culture event, with a green ethos. The lushness of the sub-tropical rainforest setting will only be matched by the heaviness of the basslines as we celebrate the rapid rise of soundsystem culture in Aotearoa!

Respect,
