Start where all great things begin: with a Big Bang. A full-venue opener packed with DJs, drag and astronomical energy.

Your official festival lift-off.

FEATURING Tanzer & Jawbreakers

At 6pm, Jawbreakers ignite the atmosphere - a sonic supernova pulling every body to the dancefloor. Expect gravitational pull, rising heat, and absolutely no standing still.

From 9pm, Tanzer takes command of the galaxy, delivering a bold, late-night orbit that will have you spinning somewhere between stardust and sweet, sweaty euphoria.

This isn’t just a party.
It’s lift-off.
It’s ignition.
It’s the moment the planets align and Planet Love begins.

And speaking of things that sizzle…

The BBQ will be blazing.

Yes. It’s a sausage fest.
And everyone loves a good sausage fest.

Sausage in a bun with all the trimmings
Chippies (for when you need something on the side)

Fresh off the grill and ready to slide into your buns:

• Plain pork, salt & pepper
• Lamb with rosemary & sage
• Chicken & red curry
• Vegan vegetable patties

Soft rolls. Gluten free options available.
