Chase and Status, The Prodigy, Wilkinson to perform at two-day festival.

The festival is back for its big birthday celebration, and organizers have extended it to a two-day event with a massive line-up to match the occasion.

Set to take place on February 21 and 22 at Christchurch’s Hagley Park, organizers revealed this morning exactly who will be performing.

Drum and bass legends Chase and Status, the English electronic music duo made up of Saul Milton and Will Kennard, will take the stage on day one.

They have taken over the European festival season after their recent collaboration with rapping heavyweight Stormzy, and now it’s time for Kiwis to get their turn.

The stars behind hits like 'Blind Faith' and 'End Credits' are preparing to give their New Zealand fans an energetic performance.

On the second day, attendees will be treated to a performance by the legendary English electronic dance band The Prodigy.

Made up of Liam Howlett and Maxim, the band first hit the music scene in 1990, but their success spans generations.

Thanks to hits like 'Firestarter' and 'Breathe,' they’re still considered one of the most successful electronic groups of all time.

Joining the two huge headliners across the weekend are 20 international names such as Wilkinson, The Kooks, and Rudimental, as well as some much-loved Australian performers.

Empire of the Sun are making their grand return to New Zealand shores for the first time in a decade, joining their Aussie pals Tash Sultana and Peking Duk, who will also take the stage to perform to the crowd, which is anticipated to be up to 60,000 people across the two days.

Saving the best for last, organizers announced iconic Kiwi acts like Ladi6, the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, L.

“We’re stoked by the level of interest – it’s amazing to have a line-up of this calibre to celebrate our 10th birthday and we can’t wait to party with you all.

” Initial presale tickets are only available for weekend passes and will be available from midday, September 10.
