Speaking with The Music before the event’s Melbourne debut this past March, festival producer Nigel Melder said they were trying to “offer a day that is going to be a lot better than what people have had previously”.

It’s a goal they hit pretty quickly with the festival’s 2018 date playing out to nearly 30,000 punters and rave reviews.
