Nova Energy Taste the World

Brought to you by

Nine cooking sessions spread across the weekend see artists swap instruments and microphones for cooking utensils and unusual ingredients and the audience gets up close in an informal, lively environment.

A dedicated marquee hosted by Jax of Masterchef NZ fame will house the Nova Energy Taste the World programme. This aspect of the festival is extremely popular and is a great way to get up close to the artists from all around the globe.
