Rolling Meadows has officially released the set times for its 2025 edition, confirming when fans can catch their favourite acts across three jam-packed days this December. Returning to Bottle Lake’s 240 Lower Styx Road in Christchurch from 29th to 31st December, the beloved boutique festival will once again ring in the New Year with a vibrant blend of drum and bass, hip hop, pop and local underground sounds.
The festival kicks off on 29th December with high-energy sets from Ciko, Procy, Wildcard, Yen, and a massive late-night finale featuring The Upbeats B2B State of Mind with MC Crafty. Friday also sees Elipsa, K-Rolla, and Moz MC holding it down at the Meadows Stage for a strong New Zealand-heavy opening day.
Day two on 30th December boasts international firepower with Aitch, A-Trak, Turno, Simula, Flux Pavilion, and DJ Hype B2B DJ Hazard. Over three stages — Meadows, Sub180 and Canopy — fans can explore everything from pop to jungle to soulful house. The Southern Events and Songs With Words takeovers add local depth, featuring names like Sarge, Ely Oaks, and Scrugs B2B Pratt.



New Year’s Eve is stacked from start to finish. Example, Charlotte Plank, JoJo, Cassie Henderson, and There's A Tuesday lead the Meadows Stage, while Kings of the Rollers + Inja and Sota deliver the final late-night blow. Over at Sub180 and Canopy, catch highlight sets from Titan, Maraschino Mommy, Degs, Yussi, Scabadart, and more. With all stages now timed and ready, festivalgoers can begin mapping out their perfect weekend.
