📣 CALLING ALL PERFORMERS 📣
We’re on the lookout for performers for our 2026 festival on the 21-22 August.
This year we are moving away from stages and are planning pop-up performances around the concourse. Think an Irish pub seisiún, an Americana jam on hay bales, a gypsy jazz band in a speakeasy, a Balkan wedding band, or a sea shanty choir bellowing in the corner.
We're also on the hunt for roving theatre! Unexpected encounters, offbeat characters, and moments of surprise that stop people in their tracks and send them off grinning. If you can add a spark of the bizarre, the playful, or the wonderfully absurd to a festival full of great beer, we want to hear from you 🫵
Expressions of interest are now open until the end of May. Submit your application using the form here: https://beervana.co.nz/beervana-2026-live-music
