If your idea of a great weekend includes live music, festival energy and summer nights, Electric Avenue Festival needs to be on your calendar. Returning to Christchurch on 27–28 February, Electric Avenue is one of the South Island’s biggest music events, bringing international and local acts together across two packed days.

For music fans in Nelson and Blenheim, flying to Christchurch is the easiest way to be part of it. Short regional flights mean less travel time and more time soaking up the atmosphere — whether you’re heading straight to the festival or making a weekend of it.

Electric Avenue is known for its diverse line-up, multiple stages and buzzing crowd. From indie and pop to electronic and rock, there’s something for everyone. The festival grounds come alive with food trucks, bars and a crowd ready to dance from afternoon through to night.

Christchurch itself is worth the trip. Make the most of your visit by exploring the city’s revitalised centre, riverside dining, and vibrant arts scene. Many festival-goers choose to arrive a day early or stay on after, turning Electric Avenue into a full city break.

Flying also takes the stress out of logistics. No long drives, no parking worries — just arrive, drop your bags and enjoy the weekend. With flights from Nelson and Blenheim, it’s never been easier to jump across to one of the South Island’s most exciting events.

If Electric Avenue is on your wish list this summer, now’s the time to plan. Book your flights early, secure your tickets, and get ready for two unforgettable days of music, energy and summer vibes in Christchurch.
