With tickets to the biggest event of the year on-sale today, we've decided to round up five reasons why we think you should attend the festival next year... 

#1. The line-up is incredible! This will be your one and only chance to see artists such as Charli xcx, Clairo, Beabadoobee and so many more in New Zealand. 

#2. Djo has just been added to the line-up as the mystery act this week and we can't wait to see him live in New Zealand for the very first time!
