03 May 2019 It’s important when looking back to acknowledge those who are no longer with us, at least not in physical form. This year saw someone very close to the crew pass away days before the festival, and one of Licola’s team pass away shortly after the festival. They were both beaten or being […]

03 Nov 2018 Our last year at Dragon Dreaming, we thought it would be hilarious to setup a doofer retirement village. We were given a tent in the lifestyle area and transformed it with interdimensional cable, arts and crafts, a shisha lounge, tanning chairs, a UV ball-pit and pop up parties for the elderly. On […]

13 Jan 2018 Up until this year we never had any psytrance at The Town. We didn’t feel it fitted into the vibe of the festival or would work with our neighbours and community stakeholders. To play on this fact, we thought it would be hilarious to do mandatory vaccinations against Psytrance. We announced over […]

13 Jan 2018 Stacks On Festival generally had pretty good weather. The few years there had been rain it often hovered around Ceres and rained everywhere but on us, like some kind of a magic spell. This year was different. The torrential rain was on and off all day long, which saw the site first […]

01 Jul 2017 Licola, the current home of The Town, first got on our radar when someone sharing an office with us told us of this beautiful secret location. We organised a meeting but Licola made it quite clear they had a really bad experience with a festival 10 years earlier and vowed never to […]

08 Mar 2017 Harambe is a giant gorilla that quick became our Mascot. He was found on the side of the road by some friends one night, and later donated to Culture Jam. We later heard he used to belong outside a shop, so we figured someone stole him late at night then left him […]

28 Oct 2016 We hit Dragon Dreaming with the theme of the ‘Merry Pranksters’, with planned skits across the weekend to cause as much mischief as possible. This include setting up roadworks and fake construction workers on major paths, including one to the main stage. We also set up a disinformation tent across from the […]

16 Oct 2016 Pirate Radio saw us head off into the seas on the Lady Cutler. We looked into actually setting it up as a real Pirate Radio and broadcasting the music, before finding out the fines were ridiculously huge. The gig sold and and we all boarded the ship and almost instantly an epic […]

31 Aug 2015 The organiser had an old car acquired from his Grandparents that he was about to sell, but with the World Beyond coming up, we thought it would be great to turn it into a steampunk mobile. We got local artist Akurst to paint it, the crew at Norm Warehouse to chop off […]

30 Jun 2015 In 2015 Revolt Artspace had to close down, and also had to workout what to do with all their awesome theatre decor. We hit up our friend Michael who owns Second Story Studios, and asked if we could rent downstairs to store it. It was available and within days we were shipping […]
