RAGGAMUFFIN Announces Artist Lineup

By:

The stage is set for the biggest RAGGAMUFFIN ever to celebrate the music festival's 5th birthday! 

RAGGAMUFFIN – to be held at Rotorua's International Stadium this weekend – will feature two stages and over 12 hours of sweet music and summer vibes.

A massive line-up of Kiwi and International Artists has been announced including Ali Campbell's UB40, J Boog, Arrested Development, Billy Ocean, Big Mountain, Jnr Marvin, Spawnbreezie, Nkulee Dube (Lucky Dube's daughter), Kora, Katchafire, House of Shem, 1814, Cornerstone Roots, Three Houses Down, NRG Rising, Tomorrow People, Soljah, Foundation, Chad Chambers, DJ Sir-Vere and DJ Poroufessor.

Away from the stage in the RAGGAMUFFIN VILLAGE, there'll be just as much fun!

Concert-goers will be able to watch top BMX riders perform their amazing stunts at the Agroventures BMX Zone. They can also try their hand at graffiti art, brave the giant Island water slide or play five-a-side soccer (the only catch is that its on Telecom Skinny's soapy football pitch!) If that all sounds too much, then the Coruba Beach Shack will be the place to chill and watch some of New Zealand's finest reggae acts. 

RAGGAMUFFIN'S 5th Anniversary will begin on Friday night at 6pm with the Mai FM Party on the Village Stage, Field 2. It also features a night market. Tickets for Friday are only $40* or can be combined with the Saturday festival pass for only $159*
