Following the incredible success of the 2025 edition of Fan Camp Rangatahi, Big Fan is thrilled to announce the return of its five day collaborative songwriting camp, an initiative designed to foster connection, creativity, and growth for the next generation of musical talent.

Fan Camp Rangatahi, held for the first time in 2024, welcomed nine talented young musicians into the Big Fan studios for a week of creative exploration. Over five days, participants had the opportunity to collaborate with fellow artists, songwriters, and producers, mentored by industry professionals and surrounded by world class equipment. The results were outstanding.

Now, Big Fan is inviting a new group of under-18 musicians to apply for the upcoming Fan Camp Rangatahi, taking place from 13th July – 17th July 2026. This camp remains dedicated to providing a supportive, inclusive, and inspiring environment for young creatives to grow their songwriting skills without commercial pressure or expectation.

A huge thank you to Apra Amcos for their amazing support.
