Hamilton's welcoming the Homegrown Music Festival back to the city where it all began. 

Organisers announced last year the festival would leave Wellington after being held on the capital's waterfront for 18 years. 

Homegrown Chief Executive Andrew Tuck says Hamilton's Claudelands Oval will offer two-and-a-half times as much space, with acts like SIX60 and LAB set to take the stage. 

He says the lineup for this year’s festival is the strongest they’ve ever put together.
