AUM New Year's Festival

AUM is held on the South Head peninsula near Helensville/Parakai, about an hour north of Auckland, running over several nights around the New Year period. The festival brings together a large roster of artists across themed stages devoted to house and techno, psytrance, drum and bass, dub and disco, among other underground electronic styles. Conceived more than a decade ago as an 'Authentic Unified Movement', it has grown into the Auckland region's biggest New Year's festival.
