JUMPSTART is a popular Rotorua-based band that has been together for over 8 years. They deliver an eclectic range of music from the 60s right up to the sounds of today.

The group consists of
    Willie Rapana - lead guitar and sax
    Sherie Curry - lead singer
    Grant Hohepa - Bass
    Robbie Warner - drummer

Headlining this year's Kaimoana Festival is one of the hottest nostalgia bands around having performed in South America, Australia, and extensively around New Zealand. The group comprises three artists with a look and sound that’s closer than close to the real thing. Their performance is packed with tributes to the Eagles, Freddy Mercury, the BeeGees, and the Beatles.

HURRICANE TILLY is an up and coming reggae/RnB originals band made up of some of Tauranga’s top musicians.

Several other popular performers at past Kaimoana Festival are part of this new band. Mike Hauraki on drums is an ex-member "Left Hand Break" along with Carlee Williams on keyboard and vocals. Past Kaimoana Festival solo performer, Regan Perry, is on guitar, Nelson Chase on Bass, is one of Hurricane Tilly’s most prized possessions and is undoubtedly the best bass player in the Bay

Hurricane Tilly hasn't been on the scene for long, but already the group has made a huge name for itself.

The Kaimoana Festival has a reputation for delivering an unique entertainment programme each year. With the Madsen Superstar Show we've continued to raise the bar.

TROUPE WAIHI is back!! After a year's absence from the Kaimoana Festival this zany band of street performers will again have festival goers laughing and joining in. A hit with young and old alike, Troupe Waihi is sure to deliver.

The always popular local kapahaka kids from Maketu Primary School will again open the Kaimoana Festival. .

It's a bird ... it's a plane... no, it's Super Stearmans! The Kaimoana Festival isn't just about the sea. We've got a fly-over this year sure to excite.

... and helicopter rides for those who want to perform their own flyover
