Edgefest (New Zealand concert tour)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edgefest is an annual 4-city concert tour of New Zealand, run by The Edge radio station.

For the past 3 years Edgefest takes place in March, and hosts some of New Zealand's finest musical bands and artists, as well as some overseas acts. Edgefest typically draws in the younger crowd, and is thought of as a younger, more commercial version of the Big Day Out. It is normally sponsored by The Edge FM, Sounds music stores, C4 television, Coca Cola, and Vodafone.

The concerts are held on weekends in March, in Auckland (Supertop), Hamilton (Mystery Creek Events Centre), Wellington (Queens Wharf Events Centre) and Christchurch (Westpac Events Centre).
