NZ BLUES & BBQ FESTIVAL IS BACK IN 2025!

New Zealand's ultimate weekend of Blues and BBQ is returning to Rotorua in 2025!

The highly anticipated New Zealand Blues and BBQs festival is set to return on November 28th to 30th, 2025, at the scenic Village Green in Rotorua.

This incredible outdoor event, produced by BOP Blues Club Inc and showcasing more than 15 bands, is all about celebrating the depth and soul of blues music while dishing up some of the tastiest BBQ in the country! Many of the incredible artists who were lined up to perform 2024 (19-Twenty, The HUman Instinct, Grant Haua & Many More) have expressed their excitement to perform in 2025, and we’re teeing up even more amazing talent to make next year’s event the best one yet.

The 2025 festival will introduce some exciting new features, including a dedicated BBQ Picnic Spot with more food trucks packed with BBQ-inspired delights, and fun activities for the whole whānau.
