“We’ve got some pretty crazy international headliners with Quavo - one of the biggest rappers in the world right now so pretty excited to have him in Tauranga and another feather in the Bay Dreams cap.”
Burrows said he had received great feedback about Wharepai Domain as the new venue.
“It’s beautiful with all the trees around the outskirts and then also we’ve got a nice zone in under the trees.
“We’ve had a couple of events there already this week with L.A.B and Dire Straits and people just love the venue.”
Burrows said they were getting everything ready for the artists and changing the venue around from previous shows, including branding and lights.
He advised festivalgoers to “get in early”.
“Stay safe and look after your friends. It’s going to be a hot one so stay hydrated.”
