Kiwi artists include fan favourites and Tauranga locals along with a host of fellow Aotearoa music legends including Katchafire, Kora and Stan Walker. The 2022 event had already been moved from its initial date in February on Waitangi Weekend due to red light restrictions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. International acts were then replaced by New Zealand-based artists. Meikle, who also owns Rising Tide restaurant and brewery in Mount Maunganui, has been involved in the festival for many years, but this is his first year at the BURD/ Joel Shadbolt – the band will be at One Love Festival in 2023. “It’s certainly been a ride, and I’ve learned a lot,” he says. “The the focus is now on dealing with the cancellation, and then it will be all go for next year. The festival is known all over the world and Tauranga is such a great place to visit. “Next year we will definitely party again.”
