Coast & Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival have teamed up to give you the chance to win a double pass to your Festival Favourite!

The 2025 Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival is back this October 9-19 and tickets are on sale now.

Award-winning theatre, world-premiere dance, live music and more. Whether you’re planning a day out with the family or an evening with friends, with shows across Hawke’s Bay there’s something for everyone.

Velvet Rebels: Celebrating the Rat Pack era, this cheeky duo channels the swing and swagger of Frank, Dean and Sammy while adding a Kiwi twist. Think Fly Me to the Moon, Luck Be a Lady, and even Poi E. It’s Vegas-style jazz with South Pacific flair!

Deva Mahal: She’s performed at Carnegie Hall, shared the stage with Björk, Etta James and Fat Freddy’s Drop, and now internationally acclaimed Deva Mahal brings her powerhouse voice to Hawke’s Bay for one night only. Soulful, bold and unforgettable.

Guru of Chai: Jacob Rajan’s award-winning play brings modern India to life — funny, heartbreaking, and full of magic. With 17 characters and a live soundtrack, this is storytelling at its very best.

Holding Ground: Two powerful works collide: a duet by Moss Te Ururangi Patterson exploring balance and connection, and a solo by Hiroaki Umeda that blurs the boundaries between human and digital forms. Striking, thought-provoking, and unmissable.
