"We couldn’t have achieved a successful 20 years without the overwhelming support of our patrons and the local community..."

For the 20th anniversary of Rainbow Serpent Festival, promoters have enlisted a killer bill of local and internationals to bring in the momentous occasion with style. 

Leading the bill is UK psychedelic trance extraordinaire Simon Posford as Hallucinogen and Schpongle, along with German duo Extrawelt, Ott & The All Seeing I, D-Nox & Beckers, Perfect Stranger, Avalon and heaps more. 

Rainbow Serpent's festival director Tim Harvey says of the huge international contingent, "We couldn’t have achieved a successful 20 years without the overwhelming support of our patrons and the local community who consider Rainbow to be an annual ritual. We want to thank them with our best lineup and festival yet.

"We’ve certainly grown a lot in twenty years … From one music stage to six as well as international speakers, workshop spaces, art galleries, kid’s area and one of the biggest outdoor markets in Australia."
