UPDATED 28/02: Newtown Festival 2021 will not go ahead on Sunday 7 March
Kia ora folks
Well, we’ve talked to a lot of people this morning - from our MPs, the MoH to our key festival organisers - and we’ve made the difficult decision to not run the Newtown Festival on Sunday 7 March. Looking after our community is core to our kaupapa and here at HQ we feel this is the best decision for all involved, despite being disappointing to many.
We’re looking at April 11th as a potential postponement date so go ahead and save the date. We do need a couple of days to work out if a postponement is feasible for our artists, stallholders and infrastructure providers so we will confirm either way this week.

Massive thanks to Te Aro Brewing for their support
Local Welly outfit Mamazita is a band of all-round talented musicians. The crew are made up from a massive range of bands from H4LF CĀST to L.A.B and much more.
Using the same compass as bands such as Hiatus Kayote and Moonchild, Mamazita bring a tasteful blend of hip-hop, neo-soul and RnB. Their tunes - full of gospel chops, groovy breakdowns and solos – will have you swaying with your friends one minute, then losing your mind in the mosh the next.
