Port Noise 2026

Port Noise Festival returns for its fourth year on Saturday, February 21st, 2026 — bringing another community-charged celebration of dynamic and unique voices from across the motu and abroad, nestled within the Ōhinehou Lyttelton harbour.

Early-bird and General Admission tickets are on sale from 9am Friday, the 17th of October, through our friends over at Humanitix.

We’re stretching things out this year — doors open at 3pm and the main stages run later into the night. Expect more artists, more performances, and a mid-festival breather to catch your breath before diving back in. Plus, payment plans are now available through Humanitix for those who might like to pay off their ticket in smaller bites.

Stay tuned.
