Really feel for the team, it’s been extremely stressful over the last while! Bring on Easter!
Um… so what do people usually do at New Years if not gigging?
Right. Finally. Thank you for all of your patience while we navigate through some uncharted territory. But we can finally announce some sad, yet expected news, while also revealing some exciting plans for the future.
The sad news is Rhythm and Vines will not be going ahead this New Year due to the COVID Protection Framework settings being at RED for the Gisborne region. Details around refunds are provided below.
An incredibly stressful time for everyone involved, however, pressure makes diamonds, and our team are determined to turn this into a positive. With that said, we are proud to announce New Zealand’s newest Easter music festival - R&V EASTER 2022.
Event Details:
R&V Easter 2022
Friday, April 15 2022 - Sunday, April 17 2022
4 Nights Camping from Thursday, 14 April 2022
💎 While we are sad that we won't be spending the New Year together, we are pumped about the possibilities of this new adventure we are about to embark on. We are already having some exciting discussions with touring talent around this period and are confident Gisborne will be ready by April to embrace tourism once again to the region. Expect some announcements regarding the lineup for Easter in the coming weeks.
💎 To the future generation of young Kiwis who did your part in getting vaccinated in the hope of getting together after one tough year. While we won't get to tell you we love you on "I Love You Bro" hill this year, we hope to see you in Gisborne for R&V EASTER 2022 and/or for RHYTHM AND VINES 2022 - our 20th Anniversary. We thank you for your continued support and patience while we work through this. Atleast we won’t get to f💎ck up the countdown video in front of 23,000 this year. 😷
💎 This has certainly been a gruelling few months for the thousands of staff and crew that work in the events industry. To our beautiful team of world class event professionals, who right up until this morning, were continuing to build the dream. Thank you. R&V isn't built overnight, however, each and everyone of our team believed it could be and were prepared to do what it takes to make this year happen. To those who can, hope you can enjoy some time off (maybe enjoy someone else’s festival?), and look forward to assembling the dream team back together again for Easter.
So there it is. Ultimately, probably not the news a lot of us wanted to hear. When the time is right, we can all be together again on the hills of Waiohika Estate. Kindness goes a long way in these trying times, so look after each other. Have a safe New Year and see you in Easter.
Kia kaha, and Merry Easter you filthy animals.
