Snow Machine brings Benee, Broods, Peking Duk, Hilltop Hoods, Pete Murray and more to Queenstown in 2023.
If you’re looking for (another) reason to book a flight to New Zealand this year, Queenstown’s Snow Machine has just announced its return with five days of adventure, shredding, après, parties and of course an absolutely monster lineup.
Combining your favourite artists, the top of the mountain of two world-class ski resorts and a party on a bungy bridge over a crystal clear glacial gorge, Snow Machine is THE TICKET to making your wildest holiday adventure dreams come true – a real trip of a lifetime!
Keep up with the latest music news, features, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
Snow Machine takes place across The Remarkables, Coronet Peak and a main festival arena in Queenstown along with a stack of additional parties and adrenaline-fuelled offerings across the South Island. It’s an adventure holiday and music festival all rolled into one and like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Attendees can hit the slopes all day, tabletop dancing en-piste with artists spinning DJ sets at four custom built mountain après stages, before continuing the party through the night at the main festival arena in the heart of Queenstown.
Taking place Tuesday 5 September – Sunday 10 September 2023, share a ski lift and après with artists from both sides of the Tasman including Art VS Science, Benee, Broods, Hayden James, The Jungle Giants, Pete Murray and Hilltop Hoods. The eclectic lineup doesn’t stop there, with additional sets from Coterie, Danny Clayton, Jacontene, Jimi The Kween, Kate Fox, Neil Frances, Northeast Party House, Peking Duk, Set Mo, Shapeshifter and more.

Alongside the music, Snow Machine makes it easy to get that adrenaline rush by booking and coordinating heart-racing activities including Heli Skiing, Skydiving, Jet Boating, Bungy Jumping, Canyon Swinging and Scenic Helicopter Tours. You can also arrange ski and snowboarding lessons, or if you want a change of pace, you can book in a trip to the stunning Milford Sound, or indulge in some of the world famous Otago region wineries.
There’s also a bunch of parties and events including the Welcome Party at AJ Hackett Bungy Kawarau Bridge, the 2nd annual Polar Bare – a World Record setting challenge to get the largest number of people heading down the slopes their swimwear, and a Vintage Retro Day – a chance to share your most chic 70s ski suits and best 80’s fluoro.
There’s also the return of the epic Canyon Brewing Co Kick On with DJ sets from VERY special guests, soundtracking a night of cutting shapes, craft beer and culinary delights.
A range of packages are available, including five-day and seven-day packages with VIP upgrades available.
Time to suit up for a winter getaway beyond your wildest expectations.
