    In Australia we have many luxuries. Freedom. Sun. Politicians who eat onions whole or break world records for sculling beer. But perhaps our biggest luxury despite the fact that we live at least a ten-hour ight from anywhere is the access we have to some simply excellent homegrown and international artistic and musical talent. As another summer festival season fast approaches, its exciting to remember the huge variety of festivals on o er year-round that feature everything from best-selling international superstars to that unknown DIY artist from the next town up. At the end of the day, festivals are about celebrating something. And that something is unique to every single punter in attendance. And thats the best thing about festivals

    there truly is something for everyone: young or old, metal or folk, hippy or hipster. e Big Ticket has been put together by a hard-working and talented team and is your comprehensive guide to the myriad of festivals around. Its not just a list of the goings on over the next year or so, weve gotten the lowdown from some of the best festivals to get excited for, some tips and tricks to enhance your festival experience and even some fun and games for the car ride home. Im hugely excited for the next 12 months of Aussie festivals, and hope you are too.

If thats all a bit too rainbow-print for you, then youll be happy to know there are luxury glamping options, so getting back to nature doesnt have to be synonymous with roughing it.

    SUSTAINABILITY: We have a waste management system put in place to ensure our footprint is as light as the barefoot gypsy queens dancing on the creek-shore.

    M A I T R E YA F E S T I VA L

  • 1. Get early bird ticketsDont wait till the last minute many festivals have early bird specials or pre-sales that are significantly discounted. Subscribe to their newsletters and follow them on social media so you can be the first to know when they release them.

    2. Work your way inMany festivals rely on volunteers to scan tickets, hand out freebies and clean up, and you probably wont have to work the entire day either. Check out their websites and apply as early as possible. Note that everyone and their mother will try to volunteer for big festivals like Splendour in the Grass, so choose your battle wisely.

    3. Win ticketsWait, people giveaway tickets for FREE? You heard it right. Radio stations and festival sponsors often host competitions to giveaway tickets, and sometimes even an all-expense-paid trip! So scout their websites and social media accounts religiously once the festival is announced and enter everything youve got to be in it to win it.

    4. Avoid flyingIf youre going to a festival thats out of town, try getting there by bus or train! An interstate return flight could easily set you back big bucks that you could be spending on festival merch or, lets be honest, more booze. Coach services like Greyhound has interstate routes, or hire a car with a few friends for a road trip. Just pump your festival playlist on the way to start the party early.YHA Bonus: YHA members get discounts on Greyhound passes and car hire.

    5. Stay in hostelsIts cleaner and sometimes cheaper than camping especially if you dont already own camping gear and utensils. Its super fun as people who stay there are likely to be attending the same festival so you can take a Tinder break and actually meet like-minded people IRL. Staying in hostels is obviously also a LOT safer than couchsurfing aka crashing at some random dudes place who may or may not skin you while you sleep. YHA Bonus: From Field Day to Future, check out which of our 85 hostels is near your favourite festivals.

    6. BYO (almost) everythingStaying in hostels means you can use the communal kitchen to make breakfast and even pack lunch everyday if the festival allows outside food and youre bothered! Otherwise bring something simple like energy bars, nuts or crackers can stretch your budget further, and you wont have to drink on an empty stomach.

    7. Look out for freebiesFrom merch to drinks to VIP passes, festival vendors and sponsors often offer freebies and surprises for festival-goers on the day. Keep an eye out on the venue signage and check social media every few hours to see whats on offer. Who knows, you might even score a last-minute meet-and-greet with your favourite artist.

    8. Bring cashYes, there will be ATMs onsite, but they are likely to charge you a withdrawal fee. Why pay to access your own money? Hit the ATM before you enter the venue and save that $3 for (half) a beer. This will also help you to set a budget for the day so you dont come home with a credit card debt because you reeeaally felt like shouting your new mates beer after meeting them for a solid 5 seconds.

    9. Use common sense Dont forget to pack on the sunscreen and stay hydrated throughout the day to avoid getting a heatstroke or anything that will lead to medical costs. Jumping off that makeshift ladder might seem fun at the time, but not so much when you break your leg and get kicked out before Coldplay even comes on.

    10. Put down your phoneOnce you get there, be present, take it all in and enjoy the moment. Watch the show live, not through the screen of your phone! (If you are one of those people who bring iPads to festivals, please see yourself out.) Put the phone down for a minute so you can see Radiohead performing before your very eyes, and that would surely make your ticket worth every dollar.

    THE VIBE: If variety is the spice of life and spice is vital to space travel (nerdy Dune reference), prepare for a vindaloo-class interstellar ex-perience that will leave you panting for some cucumber raita and reaching for the wetwipes as Rainbow lays down another unbelievable musical program of diverse beats and grooves in 2016. Once again there are well over 100 producers, bands and DJs who will beep,

    twang, thump, wobble and whoosh with such an unequalled level of skill your ears will think theyve ascended to a higher plain of nirvana. is all occurs across six impeccably sequenced stages with earth shattering sound and mouth-agape dcor tted for your wonderment and solar protection.

    SUSTAINABILITY: e Rainbow culture has always embodied respect for self, others and the land that becomes our playground. By bringing on to site only what you intend to take home, you leave the land beautiful. Our mission at Rainbow is to reuse and recycle as much as we possibly can. We go to immense lengths to minimize land ll. Rain, hail or shine we spend ten hours (or more) per day separating and reclaiming all the good things that would otherwise go to land ll. All cups, bowls and plates from food markets are composted on site and used to grow new trees. Lost pairs of thongs are washed and given to charity while hundreds of cheap, broken and discarded camp chairs are stripped of fabric and the frames given to a local scrap yard. But no matter how hard the festival works to recycle we rely on you to reduce your waste in the rst place.
