Psytrance Festivals Calendar

Rabbits Eat Lettuce ~ Electronic Music Festival takes place over Easter Long Weekend every year on the East Coast of Australia. Rabbits Eat Lettuce is an Electronic Dance Music, Arts and Camping Festival. There will be 3 dance stages, so no matter what the mood you will find some frequencies that resonate with you. When your all danced out you can retire to the chill / cinema zone, get a feed at one of the many food stalls or retire to the campsite to recharge the batteries. This is a camping festival, come camp out for a weekend of dance music, art and shenanigans. Rabbits Eat Lettuce is the perfect weekend away to catch up with friends and make plenty of new ones and shake your booty.

Inspired by the more alternative European music festivals and the Australian Doof culture, Origins of Entropy is a gathering that aims to encourage all forms of creativity and exploration, with the ultimate goal of stimulating independence of the mind, inspiring growth, provoking positive life-changing experiences and last but not least, having a good time. Providing a safe space for people of all ages and backgrounds to connect and share knowledge, experience and enjoy, Origins of Entropy delivers to its participants unique and original musical acts, experimental forms of art and alternative life style ideas, revitalising a constructive collision between nature, technology and the creative individual. We invite you all to come and participate, contribute to the community, to develop and be apart of the transformation.

Travelling through the psychedelic galaxy of our minds we enter a parallel universe.

We invite you to fling open the doors of perception and to join us in a colourful paradise of sound, vision and magic… 3 days of music, art, exuberant energy and connectedness.
Everything becomes possible.

Afrikaburn 2019 Theme

Ephemerality (from Greek – ephemeros) is the concept of things being transitory, existing only briefly.

Rising like a dusty mirage out of the Karoo heat, there’s a city that many call home. A manifestation of our collective imagination, the culmination of our collective efforts. It comes and goes, and ebbs and flows. It’s transient, temporary and transitory. It’s neither here, nor there. It is real in its unrealness.

It’s a collection of differences where we discover the secrets of ourselves that have been kept hidden. Where we uncover hidden strengths and talents, and where we expose our weaknesses and our shortcomings. An experiment with echoes of the past and explosions of the future.

A Spirited Outdoor Musical Adventure

The Reign Bough Fiddle is an inclusive, fun, positively inspiring music and arts festival a short drive from Edmonton, Alberta.

Come experience a friendly community atmosphere along with four epic stages of incredible electronic and live music, local art, engaging workshops, and live adventure quest games.

Our venue is a beautiful fully functioning campground with powered stalls and free water available.

The Reign Bough Fiddle draws its inspiration from an indigenous story that shares with us an optimistic vision of interpersonal and planetary unity, but not of sameness.

The story is a reminder that we are all related, and that like the colours of the rainbow, it is our individual differences that make us so beautiful.

Whether you come to this event for the community, art, games, music, or workshops, you are sure to have a great time and take away something positive which is as unique and beautiful as you are.

CHAPTER IV: SONG OF THE PHOENIX (2019)

“A Clash of Ice and Fire”

Dragon attacks have intensified, plunging the realm into chaos. The King has gone into hiding. Two factions are compete for supremacy: the Hailstorm Clan from the north and the Children of the Sun from the south.

Each side has marched thousands of miles, following the irresistible song of twin phoenixes. Soon the legendary birds will be reborn, offering a chance for these longtime rivals to unite together and regain their ancient powers.

UNIQUE STAGES

The festival features four themed stages with immersive environments created by experienced decoration crews; each stage has its own unique vibe, and each represents one stop in an overall journey. What this journey is you will have to discover for yourself because no two people are going to see it in exactly the same way.

The Desert Rose: Uplifting progressive house, classic & psychedelic trance, and other good vibin’ bouncy tunes

The Waystation: Amazingly groovy chill out, mid-tempo, uplifting music, and live acts.

The Tower: Electro jamz, Funky House, Drum & Bass, groovy glitch, Melodic Trap, and other earthy flavours (but still with a fun uplifting spirit!)

The Tesla: A groovy multi-genre paradise on the beach.

ADVENTURE QUESTING

The days are better with adventure; complete quests and attend special events to earn fame, fortune, prizes, and a lot of fun.

This year’s adventure theme is a powerful story of loss and redemption, reunite the ancient tribes by gathering mystical rainbow gems and mending the two halves of the phoenix.

The ZNA Gathering concept is to bring feelings and sounds from the recent past back to life in a very friendly atmosphere through a special outdoor gathering.
A moment where energy and communication flow in a retro-futuristic way.

A unique location, under the shade of trees, in the middle of nature, built with love by dancers for dancers.

All the musicians on stage are active members of the global trance scene, and have careers which started back in the 90’s. We also believe that the most important ingredient in a party are the participants, everyone is a part of it, everyone makes the gathering! Collective energy gives wings to a party, your presence makes it magical.

The Indian Spirit is not bound to the palm-lined beaches of Goa, though it undoubtedly originates from this place. Rather, it is a magic moment that evolves when the Trance tribe gathers, when multicoloured freaks arrive from all around the world, when they dance together, when they go out of their minds and become one.

Indian Spirit festival provides an excellent setting for this experience, which again might be the reason why it became the grand finale of the famous North-East open air season. Indian Spirit is always good for a pleasant surprise and some next-level psychedelic entertainment.

As the first Psytrance festival in Germany, it introduced Funktion One sound systems on all dance floors. Also a special 3D decoration concept that provides a mind-bending impression of depth. Looking at the promoters gives some illuminating insights into the innovative character of IndianGerman Spirit: Besides original organizer DJ Syncron, there are the Symphonix brothers, formerly responsible for Tshitraka festival, and Mr. Vaishiyas of SpinTwist Records.

The Indian Spirit has become more and more popular over the last years. Why? Probably because the best is just good enough here! The Indian Spirit takes everything to a new level, which makes a Goa Open Air Festival so special. Of course this primarily is impulsive trance sounds, which perfectly fits to open sky. Music within light and laser storms by night or in bright sunshine and the line-up will, as you know, not disappoint you again!

Dear Primitives,

After the great succes of this Primitif Festival 2018, we are happy and thrilled to introduce you to this 2019 edition of Primitif Festival, a place where you can be yourself, far from the problems and mental barriers of what we call real life, and freely express yourself through Dance, Music, Sharing and Love.

Primitif Festival is an underground gathering revolving around psychedelic art and music, and taking place near Lalla Takerkoust lake (Marrakesh). Gathering people from all over the world around a major music genre : Psytrance, this event also showcases other musics like Techno, DnB, Progresive, Cumbia Electro, Chill music, etc, and spotlights the Moroccan culture and its richness through intercultural exchange, following a conscious, eco-responsible and respectful of the local habits and customs approach.

Primitif Festival philosophy aims to go back to times when Man had a simple life, in osmosis with his peers and Mother Earth, long before our World knew the madness we live in. Times when through Spirituality, Shamanism and deep connection with Nature, Man was living purely and entirely the gift called Life, and our souls their body-experience. Nowadays, such men still exist, living far from our societies and their vices. They are called Primitives. We hope you are ready for a complete transformation…

In 2017 we started a new chapter in the life of our festival by opening it up to an international audience. We aim to push the developments further every year with new alternative activities and attractions, and always get closer to a more conscious, open-minded and eco-responsible gathering. During the 2017 and 2018 editions we learned a lot, and our mission is to implement this new knowledge into building a truly international festival and welcome you all in the best conditions possible.

Prepare yourselves for a Primitif Festival 2019 full of surprises !
