Snow Machine announces stellar line-up for Queenstown 2026
Snow Machine is bringing their frosty festivities back to New Zealand in 2026. From 8-13 September 2026, Snow Machine returns to the breathtaking alpine playground of Queenstown, marking the 5th edition of the festival. Bringing world-class music, snow sports and unforgettable parties to the slopes, join Chet Faker, Ninajirachi, Restricted and many more. Performing across an impressive eight stages, including the Main Arena, on-mountain Apres stages, Coronet Peak and the Remarkables, ski runs by day become dancefloors by night.
Blending a premium winter holiday with a multi-day music festival, Snow Machine delivers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Spend the daylight carving through fresh powder at The Remarkables and Coronet Peak, or dance atop the mountains as DJs and live acts soundtrack the slopes. When the sun sets, the party shifts to the Snow Machine main arena for high-energy performances late into the night. Whether you’re here for thrillseeking adventure, the music, or a perfect mix of both, Snow Machine is designed to be customised your way. It’s time to dust off the ski gear, rally the crew and turn your wildest winter holiday dreams into reality this September.
