About us
ABOUT OCTOBLAST
Octoblast is a gathering of friends, family, and free spirits who come together once a year in the magical playground of Te Arai, New Zealand. We’re here for the music that moves us, the art that inspires us, the laughter that shakes the dancefloor, and the lake that cools our souls.
With one main stage pumping pure psychedelic frequencies and one lush chill-out zone for floating conversations and sunrise sounds, the vibe is simple: dance, connect, and celebrate life. Just a weekend of raw expression, cosmic beats, and the beautiful community that makes Octoblast what it is.
This is Octoblast: our annual reunion, our nights of joy, intensity, and flow. Come as you are, bring your magic, and let’s BLAST
