Sugar Mountain Announce Secret Nightclub, Here's How To Find It

Like Pokemon Go... but party

Sugar Mountain Festival have announced a festival first today — the launch of a secret nightclub on site, but there's a catch. 

It's only discoverable through augmented reality technology, so you'll have to traipse the festival site to find it. What a world we live in.

Studio 45, as it'll be known, will be hosted by Absolut Vodka and will feature a host of Melburnian DJs such as Andee Frost, Whiskey Houston, Kate Miller and light installations from Kit Webster, with two more international acts announced on the day.

You'll have to hunt for the cutting-edge nightclub, housed in a specially built, curated warehouse space, using the Sugar Mountain app. 

Sugar Mountain organisers have been announcing all sorts of fun things as we near the January festival, including a dog show the night before. 

The festival heads to the Victorian College of the Arts on 21 January and features a huge line-up including The Belligerents, Big Scary, Little Simz, Slum Sociable and more.
