Expressions of Interest Now Open for TSB Festival of Lights 2025 / 2026

Expressions of interest to perform at the TSB Festival of Lights in New Plymouth, Taranaki for the 2025 / 2026 season are now open.

Set in the deep green surrounds of Pukekura Park, the TSB Festival of Lights fuses nature, arts, and community for five weeks of glowing summer evenings in the heart of Taranaki.

Welcoming over 150,000 people to Taranaki for its Summer season, the TSB Festival of Lights is New Zealand’s favourite, and longest running light festival. Each year the festival programmes a high-energy mix of artists to play its stages – from within Taranaki, across New Zealand, through to headliner and international acts.

If you are interested in performing at the TSB Festival of Lights, you will need to be available over the festival dates of mid-late December 2025 to mid-late January 2026. You may also be considered for the TSB Festival of Lights winter pop-up, which lights up the waterfront in New Plymouth’s CBD each Matariki long weekend.

Fill in your details and attach relevant files to the form here. Feel free to attach promotional images, clips of past live performances, and let us know what you’ve got coming up this year!
