Great Sounds Great 2025 Festival Schedule Announced
With only one week left until Great Sounds Great takes over Wellington’s Cuba Street precinct, we’re stoked to be able to share the performance schedule for the festival to help people plan their big day.
With a stacked and diverse lineup, and sets spread out over 10 stages/venues there will always be something amazing to see and hear. Whether it’s the incredible run of Jazmine Mary, Shayne P Carter and Jen Cloher in the beautiful St Peter’s church, the return of live poetry to GSG, headline sets by legends like The Phoenix Foundation, The Bats, Reb Fountain and JessB, Taite Prize winner Anthonie Tonnon bringing a new early ’00s dance culture-inspired set, or afterparty vibes delivered by DJ Kristen Stewart and $tacey Lee, courtesy of Tonic Collective and their travelling stage, there is something for everyone. Take a look at the timetable above and the venue map below and come on down to help us celebrate these incredible artists and venues.
