OUR FESTIVAL

& MUCH MORE

APRÈS STAGES

With locations across Remarkables and Coronet Peak, our on-mountain Après Stages are where the party kicks off.
Running Wednesday 9th – Saturday 12th September, daily from 11am, whether its bluebird or a snow day; these en-piste venues let you cut a few laps in the morning then dive into sets from some of the worlds biggest acts.

With two stages on each mountain, there’s something for everyone – whether you’re hitting your first turns or a pro. Locations and set times will drop soon, so stay tuned.

MAIN ARENA

When the lifts stop spinning, our festival Main Arena takes over Queenstown with global headliners, stage takeovers, and next-level production.

Think non-stop dancefloors, VIP lounges, local eats, special sub-stages and surprise moments from Thursday 10th through Saturday 12th September. Location announcements coming soon!

SIDE EVENTS

Beyond Après and the Main Arena, our side events are the stuff of Snow Machine legend – think bungy raves, street takeovers, drag brunches, exclusive night skiing sessions and wild one-offs in Queenstown’s hidden corners. 

Whether it’s a cult classic or something totally new, you’re gonna be stoked when we show you what’s on the cards for Queenstown in 2026. 

Please note: Side events need to be purchased separately and are not included in Festival/Package Tickets. 

AFTER PARTIES

When the Main Arena winds down, the real chaos kicks off. Queenstown’s late-night haunts light up with pop-up parties, surprise sets and hidden dancefloors long past midnight.

The best moments aren’t always on the schedule – and that’s exactly how we like it.
