A staple of Wellington's events calendar is back for 2023.

The Homegrown festival has faced cancellations both this year and in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions.

But for its 15th anniversary it returns with a line up that includes Drax Project, Shihad and Sir Dave Dobbyn.

Homegrown festival director Andrew Tuck says other events have started switching to international artists, now the borders are open.

But he says Homegrown will stick to its roots and celebrate supporting New Zealand music over the past 15 years.
