Drop the Mic: Jim Beam Homegrown 2027 Loyal Tickets Sold Out

Demand for Jim Beam Homegrown 2027 has hit a high note, with loyal fan tickets officially sold out and a limited release of early bird tickets now available.

Following the announcement that the festival will return to Claudelands Oval in Kirikiriroa Hamilton on Saturday 3 April, 2027, organisers say the response has been immediate.

Andrew Tuck, Jim Beam Homegrown CEO, says the sell-out is a clear signal of the festival’s continued momentum.

“We knew there was strong appetite off the back of last year, but seeing loyal fan tickets disappear this quickly really reinforces what Homegrown means to people,” says Tuck. “It’s not just a festival, it’s a date that Kiwis lock in early.”

The loyal fan presale, launched as part of New Zealand Music Month, offered the first chance for returning attendees to secure their place at the country’s largest all-Kiwi music festival. With that allocation now exhausted, attention turns to the next release.

“Early bird tickets are now live, but they’re limited,” Tuck says. “If the loyal fan response is anything to go by, we don’t expect them to last long either.”

Set to once again transform Hamilton into a multi-stage, city-wide celebration of Aotearoa music, Jim Beam Homegrown 2027 will build on the success of its 2026 event, which drew approximately 25,000 fans and delivered a significant boost to the region.

“Hamilton gives us the space and the scale to keep evolving,” says Tuck. “Every year we’re pushing to make the experience bigger and better, and 2027 is shaping up to be another step up.”

With multiple stages, a genre-spanning line-up, and a full-day festival experience, Homegrown continues to cement its place as a cornerstone of New Zealand’s music calendar.

“People come for the music, but they stay for everything else – the atmosphere, the energy, the shared experience,” says Tuck. “That’s why tickets move fast. People know what they’re getting, and they don’t want to miss out.”
