Adding more firepower to its 21st birthday celebration, Rhythm and Vines has announced its second line-up and day splits.

UK superstar Becky Hill, Welsh electronic duo Overmono, Sub Focus (presenting Evolve), and singer-songwriter Declan McKenna are among those who have joined the bill.

Rhythm and Vines co-founder and programming director Hamish Pinkham said the wide range of new acts added to the already world-class line-up.

“We’re amped to announce incredible international talents like Becky Hill — the voice behind Meduza’s ‘Lose Control’ — Overmono, and Declan Mckenna, as well as Kiwi icons and upcomers like drum and bass duo Lee Mvtthews, Lady Shaka, and Sweet Mix Kids.”

Headliners already announced for the three-day festival include UK rapper Central Cee, Australia’s hottest producer on the rise Dome Dolla and the return of the undisputed king of drum and bass,  Wilkinson.

The day split for the final three days of 2023 has Central Cee, Dom Dolla and Overmono headlining Day 1, Sub Focus, IoxoS, Knock2, Lee Mvtthews, and Peking Duck headlining Day 2, and Wilkinson, Becky Hill, Hedex, A-Trak, Declan MxKenna, and Gin Wigmore set to welcome in the new year on Day 3.

The full day split can be viewed on the Rhythm and Vines website.

Pinkham said the release of the full line-up and day splits meant festival-goers could start indulging in some R&V escapism by planning out their New Year.

“It’s that time of year when the daily grind hits hard, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Hints of summer are in the air. Rhythm is on its way.”
