Club STOLEN at Rhythm & Vines

Now in its ninth year, Rhythm and Vines takes centre stage as one of New Zealand’s top music festivals. The event has become an iconic Kiwi New Year’s tradition and this year a record 29,000 festival-goers braved fierce conditions to usher in 2012, with the help of an exciting musical line-up, including local talent Six60, David Dallas, Kids of 88 and international guests Calvin Harris, Cut Copy, Grandmaster Flash and Pendulum.

STOLEN Rum was onsite to host this year’s VIP sanctuary. “Club STOLEN” was the place to be for those after a premium Rhythm and Vines experience, boasting the best place to watch all the acts with an uninterrupted view of the main stage, along with the home comforts of a VIP area. Guests were treated to first class beverages mixed up by the STOLEN Rum Runners (including the hugely popular STOLEN Summer), which saw them lubricated well into the night.

Those who braved the elements were among the first in the world to see the light as the first day of 2012 broke over the hills of Waiohika Estate. But despite the inclement weather, the atmosphere and vibe of the event was as riotous as ever. Guests donned ponchos and gumboots and shrugged off the rain and mud to embrace the Rhythm and Vines revelry and welcome in 2012 with a STOLEN cocktail in hand.
