Team Event is a Christchurch-based event production company that has been operating for 15 years under the direction of Callam Mitchell. The company specializes in the full-service delivery of consumer events and festivals, offering services that include complete event management, marketing, sponsorship acquisition, safety services, entertainment booking, and food and beverage coordination.
The firm is responsible for some of New Zealand's largest events, including the Electric Avenue music festival, the South Island Wine & Food Festival, The Great Kiwi Beer Festival, Nostalgia Festival, and the Live in the Park concert series. Electric Avenue, its flagship event since 2015, is the country's largest two-day music festival, attracting over 40,000 attendees daily with major headliners like Lorde, The Chemical Brothers, and The Prodigy. In 2025, the festival drew approximately 75,000 attendees.
In July 2025, Team Event was acquired by Live Nation, a global entertainment company. This partnership is intended to secure the long-term future of Team Event's festival brands by providing greater access to international talent and Live Nation's extensive resources. The acquisition positions Team Event for further growth, with plans to expand its events and increase attendance.
