As we pack up site from the day that was one to remember...... Just wanted to quickly send gratitude to the fans who partied with us on Saturday 🙏🏽

Lots of people having lots of fun which is what we set out for when this was just an idea a year ago.

BIG THANKYOU to whoever controls the weather for making the rain stay away and letting us play all day. Crazy how all the surrounding towns had rain but we had a powerful little pocket of energy keeping it away (mostly).

That crowd energy was electric, thanks to Robert Glen Music, HOLLIE SMITH, reb fountain, The Black Seeds and Kora for cranking up the vibes.

Now into planning 2027....

Item 1 - More toilets
Item 2 - Headline Act 🤔
