"We've spoken about bringing our Outline live show to New Zealand for years, and it's surreal that we're finally doing it. "And to make it all the sweeter we are also working on a smaller New Year's Eve offering with details to be revealed in due course." "The 2023 festival may not be the biggest in the history of Bay Dreams, but we are working hard to make sure it's the best-ever festival." Crowd numbers would again be limited to 30,000 tickets for the Mount Maunganui festival and 15,000 for the Nelson festival, and Lowe expected when tickets went on sale between 10,000 and 15,000 would be snapped up within the first day. Bay Dreams organiser Mitch Lowe said the team were so "excited' to once again bring an "awesome" line-up of international and local artists to both the Mount Maunganui and Nelson communities. The popular summer festival will be held at Trustpower Baypark in Mount Maunganui on January 3, and at Trafalgar Park in Nelson on January 5, after this year's festivals were cancelled due to MIQ uncertainty for international artists.
