Rhythm and Vines announces that this year will be the last festival held at Waiohika Estate in Gisborne. Multiple outlets report the event will conclude its run at the venue after 23 years at the site, with organizers describing it as a “final dance.” For 2027, the festival is set to relocate to a new venue described as an “undisclosed location,” meaning the next site has not yet been revealed. The announcements indicate that the 2026 event will serve as the closing chapter for Waiohika Estate, while plans for the next phase are already in motion. In the meantime, festivalgoers are directed to the details released for the current program, which is positioned as the final gathering at the long-time Gisborne location. Organizers have not provided the future address or venue specifics at the time of reporting, but they confirm the move is expected in 2027.
