Popular local bands have played Parachute as 'local Headliners.' In past festivals the line up has included the likes of Krusty, Soda, Wash, Somersault, Toast, Obadiah and the Minor Prophets, Elephant, The Kumquats, Detour (180), Derek Lind, Mumsdollar, Steriogram, The Lads, Brooke Fraser, juliagrace, Kingston, Ruby Frost, Late 80's Mercedes, The Glory Sea, and many others. Often Australian bands were put on the 'local Headliner' list. In mid-2012, Parachute Music ran a competition to find a local band that would open the 2013 festival. A judging panel chose five bands that had entered and the decision was left to be made by public vote. The winner of this competition was hardcore band Saving Grace, from Gisborne. Saving Grace was the first to play on Parachute's Mainstage
