Welcome to NORTHERN BASS JNGL25
This summer, Northern Bass returns with a fresh format and renewed energy.
NB JNGL25 puts the focus on two massive nights of music and celebration, centred around the beloved Jungle Stage. With a more streamlined setup and capacity capped at just 6,000 people, it's a tighter, more immersive Northern Bass experience — designed to go big as we close out 2025.
Set just over an hour north of Auckland in Kaiwaka, NB JNGL25 is your New Year's destination. Onsite you'll find everything you need for a comfortable festival experience — from food stalls, hot showers and a convenience store, to phone charging stations and more.
And as always, keep an eye out for further updates as we get closer.
