Waikino music festival was a 1976 music and alternatives event held on Bicknell’s farm in the picturesque Waitawheta Valley between Waikino and Waihi, New Zealand. The event was staged by the Nambassa community run by Peter Terry. The Waikino festival was originally intended as an eight hour all day music and cultural event, however, a steady flow of bands, buskers and poets from around Auckland and the Waikato spontaneously rocked up to perform, consequently the event ran non stop for 24 hours.

Proceeds from the Waikino festival went towards the purchase of a winters supply of fuel for the predominantly pensioner community of the sleepy Waikino village. Nambassa later contributed towards the construction of a new Waikino community post office, which was washed away into the Karangahake Gorge during the great 1981 Ohinemuri River floods.

 Ian Morris playing at Waikino Music Festival 1976 Th'Dudes, Living Force, Hello Sailor, Dallas Four, Moomba, Norma Leaf, Steve Tulloch. A one-day festival at Waikino. Many of the bands who played Waikino as their first major gig, went onto become national New Zealand music stars. Headlining acts also included the Country Flyers, Rockinghorse, and Ragnarok. Also present were the up-and-coming Hello Sailor. Th' Dudes were so impressed with them that they became fanatical fans and even started modelling themselves on them. What they liked was the way Hello Sailor came across as being cocky, self-assured, dripping with talent, and with just a touch of decadence."
