The camping festival will take place on 23 - 25 November this year and, according to rumours, it will be held somewhere near Auckland.
It'll be only the second time Glover has put on the festival. The first was in September 2016 in California's Joshua Tree National Park, where a series of shows took place inside a massive virtual reality dome. It received widespread positive reviews from the likes of Fader and Billboard Magazine.
According to the Pharos app, the NZ festival will consist of a series of three shows - one each night, and will feature 'new music'. Doors will open at 6pm "with all programming occurring in the evening and onwards".
Glover made the announcement early this morning via Twitter, and tickets are already available via the Pharos app, with some keen New Zealanders purchasing theirs immediately:

So far, reaction to the announcement has mainly been from people who are jealous that Pharos is coming to NZ and not to their town. Here's a sample of some of the Tweets:
