Hidden Valley Festival announced their lineup this morning, and Matakana is in for a treat.

Hidden Valley will be headlined by the incredibly talented Alison Wonderland, an act that will be exclusive to the festival. Since her debut in 2015, she has won awards, both of her albums Run and Awake have climb the charts, and she has become the highest-paid female DJ in Coachella history. She also managed to score herself a spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs, taking out number 44 and overtaking big house names such as Zedd, Kygo, Diplo and Robin Schulz. This Aussie DJ is the only solo female artist in the top 45.

Alongside Alison Wonderland will be a host of great Kiwi acts to keep the party going, including crowd favourites The Upbeats, purveyors of what is considered some of the best drum & bass music around. They recently produced Shapeshifter’s latest album and their own fourth studio recording.

After a rocky start to the year, the upcoming festival season was in a tricky position, with the travel and border restrictions due to Covid-19 preventing organisers from bringing over the big international names that festival goers have grown to expect at these events. However, making use of Kiwi talent and pulling a few artists from across the ditch seems to be effective, with people just as excited for these events as ever.
