Reviews
The art design was incredible, from stages to the quest art. I loved that by sunday night it felt like a houseparty, loved that everyone was so playful and eager to connect.
Festival enthusiast, go to several each year. Took a punt to attend the first one, loved it and will keep coming back!
Such a wholesome and safe festival. Loved it!
Music was really on point this year and the vibes were high. Really enjoy techno but loved it was even a little housey/disco this year too.
This was honestly the best festival I've been to in the last decade. Surreal!
A bloody magical time
It was honestly one of my favourite events I've been to.
Thanks for such a great festival to start off this years Victorian festival season. 10/10 music, set up and the party vibes
I had such a wonderful time at Rising Sun, constantly vibing with other punters and dancing to music I don’t usually hear! I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did!
We had a great time thank you for the effort of putting the experience together!!
I feel like it was a level up from the previous year and looking forward to the next one coming
