Edgefest is an annual music festival in New Zealand, run by The Edge radio station.
For the past 3 years Edgefest has taken place in March, and hosts New Zealand musical bands and artists, as well as some overseas acts. It is thought of as a younger, more commercial version of the Big Day Out. It is normally sponsored by The Edge FM, Sounds music stores, C4 television, Coca Cola, and Vodafone.
The concerts are held on weekends in March, in Auckland (Supertop), Hamilton (Mystery Creek Events Centre), Wellington (Queens Wharf Events Centre) and Christchurch (Westpac Events Centre).
Famous quotes containing the words zealand and/or concert:
“Teasing is universal. Anthropologists have found the same fundamental patterns of teasing among New Zealand aborigine children and inner-city kids on the playgrounds of Philadelphia.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“... in the cities there are thousands of rolling stones like me. We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him.... We have no house, no place, no people of our own. We live in the streets, in the parks, in the theatres. We sit in restaurants and concert halls and look about at the hundreds of our own kind and shudder.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
