Winds Slow NZ Fest
Wild winds that hit south and central New Zealand March 7 caused heavy flooding and forced Wellington, New Zealand’s waterfront Jim Beam Homegrown festival to be delayed by 24 hours.

Blue skies March 8
The day-long event of all-New Zealand acts sold out its 17,000 tickets a week before.
The 57-act bill included Shihad, I am Giant, Blacklistt, Shapeshifter, Devilskin. Katchafire, Six60, David Dallas, P Money, Tikki Taane and Concord Dawn.
The show went on the next day under blue skies. For visitors who couldn’t stay for the Sunday, promoters put on two indoor shows March 7 with four acts each from the bill.
