Tora Bomora reveals line up including Dallas Tamaira, MĀ, Casual Healing and more

After announcing it's return for 2027 following a four year hiatus, boutique Wairarapa festival Tora Bombora has revealed it's full line up for the comeback event.

Leading the way are a number of notable names - most prominently Dallas Tamiara from Fat Freddy's Drop who is bringing a full band to perform solo material at a festival for the first time ever. From across the ditch, Melbourne based jazz house group Close Counters are sure to have the vibes, alongside Jamaican dub outfit Pachyman (Puerto Rico) and Byron Bay indie favourites Smokey Cake.

Aotearoa is well represented on the line up which also includes AMA-winning MĀ, acclaimed producer SERBII, psych soul artist Casual Healing as well as Debt Club and more.

Festival creator Louis Murphy Harris says supporting NZ's emerging artists is a big part of what Tora Bombora stands for.

Tora Bombora has always been a celebration of emerging talent. We're incredibly lucky to have Wellington just over the hill, with an endless pool of musicians and creatives. Every year we try to create a lineup that reflects that while also bringing exciting international artists to the coast.

As well as the incredible line up, the location and festival experience are what makes Tora Bombora such a special event. Taking place off grid on the Wairarapa coast, limited mobile coverage encourages attendees to disconnect take part in a melting pot of creative expression across a full weekend of live music, food, art, and community activities.
