A raft of massive international acts will perform, with American metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada touring off the back of its new album 8:18, set for release this month.
Festivalgoers can look forward to indie rockers Paper Route, Grammy nominated collective Gungor and punk rockers MxPx. All make the trip from the US.
Canadian pop/soul band Newworldson hit our shores again to treat fans to their unique style.
Other international acts include Halfnoise, For All Eternity, and MC Jin.
Parachute Music chief executive Mark de Jong says it is New Zealand's longest running music festival.
We want to make sure our loyal fans are treated to music they love, as well as featuring the best up-and-coming Kiwi talent that we can lay our hands on, said de Jong.
