Watch All The Highlights From Future Music Festival's First Weekend

The next and final batch of Future Music Festival events for the year are very nearly upon us. Still, before pumped-up punters make their way through gates in Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide over the next few days, it's perhaps worth revisiting all the madness and mayhem that went down at Perth and Sydney's Future events last weekend — and we've got just the video to help you do it.

This is the sort of compilation clip to inspire the harshest of FOMO even among people who were actually there, so carefree and idyllic does the festival appear through the lens. Micro- and macro-scale crowd shots of smiling, joyfully screaming festival-goers abound amid a sea of light shows, confetti, and electronic-music stars. More than a little envy is sure to stir within at the sight of Future's slick private helicopter, but let's be real — hearing the bemusingly resurgent Darude speak is pretty much worth the click alone.

If you were there, watch the clip and scour the scenes for your face, among all the other highlights. If you're headed to any of the Future events in Qld, Victoria or South Australia to party with the likes of Drake, Avicii, The Prodigy, Knife Party, Afrojack and the Hilltop Hoods this weekend, you should still watch away to make sure you're as educated and prepared for the revelry as you can be.

To that end, be sure to grab the Future app while you're at it (iTunes / Google Play) — it'll make your entire day immeasurably easier to orchestrate.
