Edgefest (New Zealand concert tour)
Edgefest was an annual music festival in New Zealand, run by The Edge radio station.
Between 2004 and 2006 Edgefest took place in March, and hosted New Zealand musical bands and artists, as well as some overseas acts. It was thought of as a younger, more commercial version of the Big Day Out. It was normally sponsored by The Edge FM, Sounds music stores, C4 television, Coca Cola, and Vodafone.
The concerts were held on weekends in March, in Auckland (Supertop), Hamilton (Mystery Creek Events Centre), Wellington (Queens Wharf Events Centre) and Christchurch (Westpac Events Centre).

Edgefest 07
