GrooveFest – Christchurch’s Ultimate Groove, Funk, Heavy Rock & Metal Festival
GrooveFest, presented by Tombstone Entertainment, is Christchurch’s premier music festival, uniting the aggressive power of metal, the rhythmic energy of funk, and the intense drive of groove rock into one explosive celebration of live music. Since 2013, GrooveFest has been the go-to event for fans of hard-hitting riffs, soulful rhythms, and high-energy performances. After a small hiccup due to the global pandemic, we’re back stronger than ever, having just celebrated our 10th GrooveFest event—marking a decade of unforgettable performances and community spirit.
GrooveFest has built a reputation as a genre-defying festival, seamlessly blending the sonic ferocity of metal, the uplifting beats of funk, and the relentless drive of heavy rock. This fusion creates a dynamic and inclusive festival atmosphere where fans of all genres come together to experience the best live music New Zealand has to offer. From the heavy breakdowns of metal to the smooth rhythms of funk, GrooveFest is where heavy meets groove in the most exhilarating way possible.
Over the years, GrooveFest has hosted a stellar lineup of bands, such as Stonehurst, Scrooge, Pieces of Molly, Elidi, Left Or Right, Pull Down The Sun, Heavy Metal Ninjas, Osmium, Soulseller, Swamp Dweller, Yarnspinner, Borer, Organectomy, Plague of the Fallen, and many more. Each year, GrooveFest continues to expand, bringing together an incredible mix of talented bands that reflect the festival’s diverse and ever-growing music scene.
After an unforgettable 10th show and over a decade of powerful performances, GrooveFest continues to grow, bringing together even more amazing bands and creating an immersive experience for both artists and fans. Whether it’s the bone-crushing heaviness of metal, the funky vibes of groove, or the thunderous energy of rock, GrooveFest remains the place to be for those who love live music at its rawest and most energetic.
GrooveFest is more than just a music festival—it’s a celebration of the community, energy, and connection that comes with experiencing live performances. From the first note to the final encore, every moment is designed to keep the crowd moving and the good times rolling.
