Auckland’s music lovers are in for a treat this summer with the launch of Parklands Festival 2025—a fresh multi-genre event debuting in the heart of the CBD. Set to take over Albert Park on Saturday 15th November, the one-day celebration promises big energy and even bigger beats, featuring some of the most exciting names in drum and bass, house, hip hop, and beyond.

Leading the charge is none other than Australian heavyweight LUUDE, joined by DnB legends Camo & Krooked, UK rising star Goddard, and punchline lyricist Songer. The first wave of the lineup also features Basstripper, Danny Byrd, Elipsa, Flamingo Pier (DJ Set), Go Freek, Yussi, Kenzo, and AFA (Anna from Admin)—with more acts still to be announced.

Parklands Festival is the latest venture from Audiology Touring, known for their expertly curated lineups and high-production experiences. With its unique city-park setting, the festival offers fans a chance to soak up world-class music under the trees and skyline of central Auckland.

Pre-sale access kicks off at 6pm on Wednesday 10th September, with general admission tickets available from 7pm the same evening. With a launch lineup this strong, Parklands Festival is set to become a staple of New Zealand’s summer festival calendar.
