Rhythm & Alps Drops 2025 Day Splits and Adds 35 New Artists

Rhythm & Alps has unveiled its day splits for the 2025 edition, giving festivalgoers the perfect chance to plan their New Year celebrations. Taking place from 29th to 31st December, the South Island favourite is set to light up the Cardrona Valley with an impressive blend of international heavyweights, Kiwi legends, and rising stars. Fans can now see exactly who’s performing each day—and the festival has marked the occasion by adding 35 fresh names to the bill.

Among the previously announced headliners are Dizzee Rascal, Rudimental, Santigold, and Dombresky, all performing across the final two days. Bass lovers can look forward to sets from Kanine, Gentlemens Club, and Kurupt FM, while acts like Chaos In The CBD and The Black Seeds will bring genre diversity to the mountain stages. Local favourites including Beccie B, Dick Johnson, and Halfqueen round out a dynamic and eclectic spread.

Joining them on the updated 2025 lineup are newcomers such as Deep Notion, Fairbrother, Bad Birds, Bare Up, Indecisive, and Miss Jane. The additions cover everything from high-energy drum and bass to groovy house and soulful electronica, expanding an already stacked roster. Campers can also expect a special pre-festival “Campers’ Night” on 29th December, though organisers are keeping those details under wraps—for now.

With the final lineup locked in and day splits now public, punters can fine-tune their festival plans and decide whether to go for a single-day experience or dive in for the full three-day adventure. Full ticket options, including GA and camping passes, remain available—but won’t last long as the countdown to New Year’s Eve in the Southern Alps begins.
