Wellington's Homegrown festival is set to move further afield - with organisers claiming it's outgrown the capital. The music festival's been operating at the region's waterfront for 18 years, but it's been revealed this year's upcoming two-day event will be the last held in Wellington before it moves in 2026. Festival director Andrew Tuck says they've been looking to expand Homegrown out further - and there's nowhere else in Wellington that can accommodate demand. "We looked everywhere to see if we could accommodate inside Wellington, we've been looking at that for the last couple of years. And unfortunately, there's nowhere where we could actually move the people in a comfortable fashion that'll actually tick all the boxes."

Wellington's iconic Jim Beam Homegrown festival is leaving the city after eighteen years, with this year's festival the last in the capital. Festival director Andrew Tuck told Nick Mills the decision was a hard one, with his team having explored every other option to keep the festival in the city. He said New Zealand music remains enormously popular and the festival wants the ability to introduce more stages such as one focused on country music. Tuck said they hope to have the new venue confirmed by April. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
