Meatstock | Auckland

Meatstock Auckland is back again in its fourth instalment of excessive meat and rockin blues. The sell-out festival will be returning to its NZ home, the ASB Showground, on the 15th-16th of February with tickets on sale at www.meatstock.co.nz

Meatstock will be hosting some of the juiciest names in the music and BBQ scene. This year’s headliner is the legendary roots rockers, Katchafire, who are sure to get the crowd pumping and when it comes to big time barbecue masters, get ready to welcome back our favourite personality Big Moe Cason, new to Meatstock American pitmaster, Mike Johnson and “Queen of Fire”, Paula Labaki.

Big Moe who has now competed in over 250 competitions across the states, will be hosting the hugely popular Texan BBQ Masterclasses. Always up for a fan pic, you won’t miss his smiling face wandering through the festival over the weekend.

Over 50 teams from across New Zealand and counting will be battling it out at the fourth Meatstock NZ Barbecue Wars for $15,000 in cash and prizes and more importantly to be crowned the best barbecuers in the land. And our favourite butchers are back, going head to head to win NZ’s best in the biz.

What is sure to be a hit is the inaugural NZ Sausage Sizzle Throwdown! Professionals (yes, there are competitive rankings) will go up against anyone to compete for $1,500.00 cash and a multitude of prizes.

The 2-day line-up also includes Texas Pete's BBQ Showdown with 4 of the best teams in NZ, Rod + Custom Rumble, free rides for the kids, barbecue expo, live art, refreshments by Liberty Brewing and Jack Daniels, plus more.
