Vodafone Homegrown 2009

Wellington’s waterfront became the stomping ground for thousands of music lovers on Saturday for Vodafone Homegrown.

Whether you were moshing at the Jim Beam Rock Stage, head-nodding at the Cadbury Moro Dub & Roots Stage, buzzing out at the SmokeFree Electronic Stage, enjoying the tunes at the Nokia Indie Stage, or simply just kicking it back at the Amphitheater Stage – An amazing time was had by all.

Vodafone Homegrown pulled together an epic selection of the best bands and DJ’s in the country and was arguably the best kiwi rock, indie, dub, roots, reggae and dance line-up ever seen in one place at one time.

One of the highlights on the days events, was the performance by Blindspott, who reformed just to play to their fans at Homegrown. Blindspott’s front man, Damian Alexander, said that he and the band had been looking forward to this concert since their announcement in November 2008 that the band would reunite for the homegrown line up for one show only.

I was there capturing all the day’s events for Wellington’s online entertainment magazine, SnapStar. I provided them over 500 amazing images from the day – this is just a handful of my favourite photos I took over the day.
