Homegrown takes place on the Wellington Waterfront on Saturday, March 21 and will include performances from 44 different Kiwi acts across five stages.

Shapeshifter will headline the Park Stage, which will host performances by L.A.B, Mitch James, Sunshine Sound System, Katchafire and chilled hip hop/rock/funk group Summer Thieves.

Shihad will enjoy a Wellington homecoming on the Rock Stage, joined by Devilskin, Villainy, Written By Wolves, and ZED who’ll be coming off the back of a sell-out tour celebrating 20 years of their album Silencer.

Seventies rockers Dragon are headlining the City Stage. The ‘April Sun in Cuba’ stars will be supported by Kiwi favourites, Nesian Mystik, who are coming out of a long hiatus, The Black Seeds, Thomas Oliver, Mako Road and Lepani.

The Lab Stage will host Auckland rap duo Church & AP, David Dallas, Kings, SACHI, Stan Walker and Robinson.

The increasingly popular electronic tent will feature Dan Aux and Sin alongside, Montell2099, and duo Lee Mvtthews. Drum and bass legends Concord Dawn will play back to back with P-Money as one of the main events on this stage.

Another eighteen acts will be named on November 5th.
