The colour, the sights and — above all else — the sounds made Bland Park anything but during the Waitati Music Festival on Saturday.

More than 1000 people made the most of 12 hours of non-stop music across three stages in a genre-bending line-up that included everything from drum and bass to reggae.

Post-punk band Die! Die! Die! was joined by the Soaked Oats, Erin Sphere and Tiny Pieces of 8, among others.

There were also numerous art installations, food stalls and a kids’ zone.
