MTV Snow Jam 2008

MTV Networks New Zealand has just added US hip hop stars - Lil Jon, Fat Joe and Baby Bash, and Aussie Rockers - The Vines to the already massive lineup of performers for the 2008 MTV Snow Jam.

They will join Donavon Frankenreiter, P-Money, PNC and David Dallas, The Grates, The Potbelleez, Opshop and Cut Off Your Hands at the free music festival to be held on Saturday August 16, at Terrace Downs, near Mt Hutt.

A world class luxury resort ,the Terrace Downs is set to be transformed into a one day free music festival featuring back to back performances from local and international acts.

For those who can’t make it to the concert, MTV will capture the event for an MTV Snow Jam Special that will air on MTV NZ on September 6.

"Snow Jam is a perfect blend of everything we love here at MTV NZ; spectacular landscape, live local and international music and a party atmosphere!" comments Chris Keely, General Manager of MTV NZ. "This unique, local, ‘made for television’ event is a great opportunity for kiwis from around New Zealand and especially Christchurch, to experience the MTV brand face to face, live, and like all good parties for FREE!"

MTV Snow Jam is the only event of its kind held in New Zealand with local production crews filming a range of content for the Snow Jam special.

Following the huge success of last year’s Snow Jam, this year promises to deliver even more for the local community, with the ‘made for television’ broadcast of the event set to air in up to 27 countries including the UK, Korea and Italy. Local business owners are set to benefit most from the event, with thousands of people expected to fly in from all over the country.

MTV Snow Jam 2008 is sponsored by Export Gold and Relentless.
