When Juicy Fest 2024 comes to Tauranga this summer, it will bring more than a sense of nostalgia through iconic R&B and hip-hop artists of the 1990s and 2000s.

It also provides hundreds of jobs for members of the community and beyond. 

Juicy Fest hits Tauranga on Sunday, January 7, 2024, when R&B and hip-hop superstars Keri Hilson, Mario, Fabolous, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Ma$e, Trey Songz, Ashanti, The Game, T.I. and T-Pain take festival-goers on a journey through their chart-topping hits.

All artists are excited to be coming to Tauranga, many for the first time.

Juicy Fest promoter Glenn Meikle says as thousands of people attend the event to watch their favourite artists live, a lot of work is put in behind-the-scenes to make it happen. 

“Hundreds of people will be working on the day to ensure the safe and successful running of the event,” says Glenn.

“From security, bar staff, back-of-house staff, venue management, health and safety workers, production, door staff and food vendors, more than 250 people are involved.”

Two-time Grammy-nominated American singer-songwriter Keri Hilson can’t wait to perform for New Zealand fans again.

“I expect the same crazy party energy I’ve always shared there with my fans,” says Keri.

Juicy Fest 2024 takes place at Mercury Baypark.
