In a post on Facebook, organisers of the Rhythm and Alps music festival, near Wanaka, said the New Zealand Government has stated the use of vaccine passports will be mandated at large events and will most likely start from November. Organisers are urging festival-goers to get vaccinated now, not in December. Every year, the Rhythm and Alps festival sells out, with about 24,000 people expected to attend.
