The River Sounds Festival 2025

A not-for-profit music festival about mental health, finding hope and choosing life. 

The Festival features Georgia Lines, Bec Sandridge (AUS), King Kapisi, Dan Sharp, Marmalade & M*A*S*H, plus more to be announced very soon. This will be interspersed by talks from those affected by mental illness.

Complimenting the main stage is an array of activities designed to promote hauora - well being, such as yoga, meditation, and interactive talks with local mental health experts. 

All proceeds from the event will be donated to support mental health initiatives in NZ. Our Charity partner for 2025 is Te Puna Hauora who will be running workshops throughout the day.

The Everyone Hurts Foundation is a registered NZ charity and since its inception we have raised over $70,000 through various events. 

Event is R18 only.
