Our Mission
​
Lobofest has been running since 2013. Our aim is to bring the community together and have fun. We always show the great musical talent in Dunedin as well as craft beer, wines and locally made food.
As our 10th anniversary edition, 2025 is going to be the biggest Lobofest to date! With a legendary headliner and a stellar lineup of local artists, this is not one you want to miss!
​
Just for YOU
​
SUMMER EDITION - February 15th 2025
Lobofest SUMMER EDITION runs from a SPUNKY spot in Brighton, Dunedin, right near the beach!
Lobofest is an outdoors festival. It is BYO seat, picnic blanket, umbrella, bean bag or whatever keeps you comfy til you get your dancing shoes on! We provide various tents for weather protection.
​
Our event is child friendly, but children must be supervised at all times.
Your checklist for LOBOFEST:
- Sunscreen
- Hat
- Something to sit on if you need it
- Your ticket
- Your MATES
- GOOD vibes
​
THE VENUE
We run an on premise fully licensed supervised venue. This means we are not BYO alcohol. Good news for you... we always have amazing food and beverages on offer as well as free water at all times. We offer shaded areas (or cover from rain if need be) and plenty of room to get amongst it!
There is no parking on site, but some parking available locally. We recommend it is best if you maximise transport by either getting as many people in a car as possible or don’t drive! Be kind to global warming and share transport. We also have FREE BUSES at the end of the festival to make sure you get home safe.
​
We do have some rules that we expect our guests to follow. - just the usual: No liquids, no drugs, no campervans, no fights, no freedom camping on site and DON'T BE A DICK. We do not sell tickets at the gates, so make sure you have your tickets well in advance.
​
Come and enjoy the day!

Musicans:
Any band can register interest but please note we only have so many spaces available. we are having to choose only 9 bands for this summer edition. The selection criteria for us to choose bands depends on the following:

-

-
is the band part of the local crowd of Brighton?
​
It is important that you give us as much information as possible so that you can have the best chance of playing. If you register interest please make sure you have are available for the date, it is very difficult to change all advertising when bands cannot commit to play.
