'Escape to 1770' - A new avant-garde, music, arts, lifestyle, and sustainable living concept. A gathering to unify people from all walks of life through music, performance, and art. We strive to create a space void of ego, to allow for complete freedom of expression, free of judgment, boasting un-bespoke creation, open acceptance, radical self-reliance, and we want you to be involved!

Incorporating all the best attributes of a bush-doof and a regional burn, whilst caring for the land and environment through education and scheduled permaculture events. This is a primary focus for us as a way of giving back to the land that has provided such an amazing opportunity for us all. This is a leave no trace event.

An inclusive community enabling positive connection, collective creative expression, and an opportunity for anyone to showcase unique talents in a supportive environment! This is the start of something new and exciting, built of hard work and generosity from ourselves and the wider community, with our ultimate goal of building this into a multi thousand person music and arts gathering in the years to come, which will lead to creating a prosperous environment for everyone involved.

This initial year, we are aiming to establish connections with like-minded industry folk, both in local 1770 and across Queensland, to bring together all of our ideas to collectively build this into something grand. So please, get in touch and let us know what ideas you have and how you can help contribute!

Running for 3 days and 3 nights from the 30th December - 1st January 2022 we celebrate the year that has been, then letting go, and moving on to setting positive intentions, bringing in the new year together, and celebrating new beginnings!

Situated in the sunny, lush Discovery coastal region of 1770 on an untouched private farm. We plan to create a very special, loving, and safe party environment that encompasses the natural beauty of the surroundings.

2 Stages

30 DJ's

Performers

Workshops

Art Installations

We have the designs for an immersive 3D interactive funky '1770 shakedown' main stage, reflective of the region which was drafted by none other than Fulcrum designs. In alignment with our sustainability principles, when constructed, this will be a permanent structure that will be added to each year as the event grows. To accompany this grand stage design we will have a big BASS HEAVY rig to match (Void acoustics or a special surprise if it arrives from Canada in time)

Making its debut, our second stage 'The Lounge" will entice you with all the comforts of its hedonist, lounge x dance floor combo, a perfect duo for all to experience!

We look forward to celebrating life and the new year with you, and building something truly unique and special! Let's Escape To Mahlkau!
