Snow Machine

Last year, Snow Machine descended upon the breathtaking adventure capital of the world Queenstown in New Zealand’s South Island. This year it’s back with 5 days of adventure, shredding, après, parties and of course an absolutely monster line up. Imagine seeing your favorite artists at the top of the mountain of two world class ski resorts? Ever thought about partying on a bungy bridge over a crystal clear glacial gorge? Snow Machine can make your wildest holiday adventure dreams come true - a real trip of a lifetime!

Snow Machine takes place across The Remarkables, Coronet Peak and a main festival arena in Queenstown along with a stack of additional parties and adrenaline-fueled offerings across the South Island. It’s an adventure holiday and music festival all rolled into one and like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Attendees can hit the slopes all day, tabletop dancing en-piste with artists spinning DJ sets at four custom built mountain après stages, before continuing the party through the night at the main festival arena in the heart of Queenstown.

Let’s buckle up the ski gear and see what’s on offer this September.
