All orders are now being sent directly as eTickets. Please ensure you have a valid email address and a printer to use this option.

A credit card is now required to pre-purchase Parachute tickets. Don't have a credit card? No problem - you can buy an NZPost Prezzy card (just like a pre-paid credit card) from any NZ Post shop. Simply load it with enough money to cover your ticket and booking/delivery fee, and you can then purchase online or over the phone. For more details on how a Prezzy card works, click here

Parachute 2012: The most magnificent musical mishmash this summer

It has been said that a mishmash is a glorious jumbalaya, jampacked with interesting ingredients and flavoursome goodness.

Parachute 2012 is delighted to once again serve you up a delicious musical feast that will nourish your soul and tickle your ears. You'll come back for seconds and maybe even thirds.

There'll be a first course of village shopping, seminars, late night shows and showcases, a main course full of magnificent musicians on the Mainstage, ramping up to the luscious last course with the massive outdoor worship party under the stars.

There' ll be jazz and rock, indie and country, bluesy tunes, hip hop, hardcore and more. There'll be dancing and crumpin' and rappin' and laughin'. There'll be serious talks and private walks when you get away from the noise and think about life, and there'll be late night madness in the village when all the sensible people are trying to sleep. Talk about a mish mash? Yep. Totally.

Get amongst it and be a part of the recipe for the most magnificent musical mishmash this summer.
