Smash Fest 2021

Gisborne on January 2-3 2021.

Having the freedom to start 2021 camping freely in the sun (minus some torrential rain) with some of New Zealands leading, and upcoming heavy metal bands was an excellent way to usher in the End of Days.

Featuring the return of Smashfest favorites brutal lads CARNAL, and a freshly reunited SILENT TORTURE - this year brought out the hardcore with TEETH AND NAILS and DEADSET and the blackened cries of FALL OF MAN.

TAIRAWEHITI FIRE TRIDE and the WILD EARTH BELLY DANCE crew uped their game trememdously with a mesmerizing ritual of burning.

All the while being a family friendly and fun camping experience for all!

SmashFest 2022 marks the tenth anniversary of this small, underground, and unique music event - and is surely one not to miss.
