This will be the third Spring City Music Festival, after its inaugural debut in 2019, returning for 2023 with a not-to-miss lineup of local music legends and international appearances.

Headlining the festival is Aotearoa powerhouse L.A.B, who are making their triumphant return to the Auckland stage after a two year hiatus from the City of Sails. The anticipated event marks L.A.B's first Auckland headline show since their impressive sell-out performances at Mt Smart and Western Springs. Gearing up to deliver an unforgettable performance in anticipation of their upcoming studio album LAB VI, fans can expect a dynamic and electrifying showcase of the band's signature sound and captivating stage presence.

Also announced to perform as stellar headliners, are Australian hitmakers The Avalanches (DJ Set) and The Temper Trap, alongside British disco house maestro JOY (ANONYMOUS), and Aotearoa’s favourite pop duo, Foley. Local support includes MissB, electronic trio Hotel Tropic and the new George FM night host, Beccie B.
