Devonstock 2010

Surrounded by 360-degree scenic views, shining sun, sausage sizzles and the newest Shore sound, what more could you want to kick start summer?

This year’s Devonstock concert will be held on the summit of the iconic Mt. Victoria. The action-packed lineup includes The Earlybirds, Ruby Frost, Gala Morris, The Psychs, Petra, and Ella & Louis: all blossoming local talent.

Since the first guitar strummed in 2007, Devonstock has steadily grown in numbers and prestige. It’s hosted The Naked and Famous, The Checks, The White Birds and Lemons. And who knows which upcoming artists you’ll see there next?

The concert was the brainchild of former Takapuna Grammar student Sam Harper. It was dubbed ‘Devonstock’, a nod to the infamous 1969 Woodstock concert. Though it might not be a three-day event like Woodstock or have a notorious worldwide reputation (yet!), Devonstock is becoming the highly anticipated event of the year for Devonport-ians alike, hosting over 1500 people in 2009 and 2010.

This year, the reins have been handed over to Youthink Devo, a local youth community forum consisting of 16 local teens. They hold meetings monthly amidst eating pizzas and swapping community ideas, and are led by local community coordinator

Devonstock is a non-alcohol event for young people and families alike, with free entry. No parking on the mountain, but feel free to ride bikes or take a stroll up the summit of Mt. Victoria.
