Edgefest (New Zealand concert tour)

Edgefest is an annual music festival in New Zealand, run by The Edge radio station.

For the past 3 years Edgefest has taken place in March, and hosts New Zealand musical bands and artists, as well as some overseas acts. It is thought of as a younger, more commercial version of the Big Day Out. It is normally sponsored by The Edge FM, Sounds music stores, C4 television, Coca Cola, and Vodafone.

The concerts are held on weekends in March, in Auckland (Supertop), Hamilton (Mystery Creek Events Centre), Wellington (Queens Wharf Events Centre) and Christchurch (Westpac Events Centre).

Edgefest 07

Edgefest 07 was canceled because Research International survey was not carried out in the first half of 2007 and Edgefest was only a marketing angle for this survey
