“We have an important announcement to make. R&V 2026 will be the final Rhythm and Vines held in Gisborne,” organisers wrote in a social media post earlier this month.
“For 24 years, we’ve come together here to welcome the new year surrounded by music, mates, unforgettable sunsets and sunrises, and those ‘love you, bro’ moments that stay with us long after the final song.
“For almost a quarter of a century, Gisborne has welcomed a generation of Kiwis and festival lovers, helping us create the ultimate New Year’s destination. To the people of Gisborne – thank you.”
According to a press release, Rhythm and Vines is moving in order to “support the festival’s long-term future and continued evolution.”
Rhythm and Vines will relocate to a new, undisclosed location in 2027.
