Erratic weather didn't dampen the spirits for Splore punters this year.
The three-day festival at Tapapakanga Regional Park in Auckland faced rain and strong winds on Friday, which mercifully cleared for the main events on Saturday night.
The festival presented a stellar mishmash of dance and world music, with headliners Rudimental battling through the downpour on Friday night to deliver an elevated, high-energy performance, which featured their hits Feel the Love and Waiting All Night.
Jess B was unsurprisingly excellent throughout her set at the Living Lounge stage; the rapper proved why she's one of New Zealand's best performers at the moment, bringing DJ half-queen and two phenomenal dancers along for a fully-realised live show that had crowds eating out the palm of her hand.
Calmer weather on Saturday made for a more inviting night of dancing under the stars. The line up was diverse and thrilling; African DJ Orikol and her crew had the DJ stage thriving early in the night, their high energy and camaraderie infectious. DJ Peach Milk followed, delivering a flawless hour and a half of ambient, hypnotic dance music.
