WELCOME
Get ready for the summer of peace, justice and rock 'n roll. Celebrating its 19th year, Parachute Festival 09 is set to be the hottest spot on the summer calendar. From the 23rd-26th January, Hamilton’s Mystery Creek Events Centre will resound with the hits of Christian music heavyweights from home and abroad. 4 days and 150 artists make for the southern hemisphere’s biggest Christian music festival – P09 hosts an all-star line-up including Atlanta crunk rockers Family Force 5, alt-worship revolutionists David Crowder Band, Kutless, Casting Crowns and our very own national treasure Dave Dobbyn.
Representing the home troops are locals Parachute Band, Rapture Ruckus, pop-punkers Mumsdollar and All Left Out and many more. With 6 stages catering to every genre from the sounds of Pacifika and urban soul to the White Elephant Stage’s alt-indie menu, P09 brings the noise for every music fan, from the hardcore kids to the soft-jazz souls. As well as music, P09 brings the A to Z of the arts and culture, with its very own short film fest, late night comedy, village markets, skate park, over 40’s tea party, paintball, 80’s disco, Kiwiana party, child sponsorship and much, much more.
