At Rainbow you'll find people from all communities and demographics, joined together by a shared desire to celebrate life and to learn and experience new things.
Running for four days over Australia Day weekend in January each year, Rainbow attracts over 10,000 people from all over Australia and the world with it's unique blend of music, workshops, activities, performance art, market stalls and mouth-watering food on offer.

Add to all this amazing décor, roving artistic performances and workshops on a massive range of topics your biggest difficulty over the weekend will be deciding what to do next.
Announced so far:
OTT
(Twisted Records, U.K)
The multi-instrumentalist producer and performer will bring his dubtastic live show back to Rainbow Serpent festival once again! Since the early 2000s, Ott has produced, mixed and recorded music released on Twisted Records, including various collaborations with founder Simon Posford. His first major contribution to Twisted was the record Hallucinogen - In Dub, on which he remixed six classic Hallucinogen songs. In May 2003 he released his own album, Blumenkraft, on Twisted. His work has also been featured in releases from the record label Liquid Sound Design (now known as Liquid Sound, run by Martin Glover), especially those compilations produced by Humphrey Bacchus during his time at the label. He followed up his debut album in January 2008 with Skylon, followed by Mir in March 2011.
He has also contributed to several other records on Twisted as well as other labels. His live sets have been described as ‘aural fornication’, a mixture of the sublime and the absurd, always challenging, evocative and emotional.
Ill Gates
(Made In Glitch, Toronto)
Ill.Gates is a Toronto-based composer, performer and educator. For over sixteen years, he has established a reputation as one of the most dynamic electronic music artists around. He regularly tours across North America, Europe and Asia.
His first full-length release, Autopirate (Muti Music, 2008) charted and continues to sell strongly. His triple album The ill. Methodology and accompanying online course is a blueprint for any budding dance music producers.
Many look at Gates as an ‘artists artist’ who is both a leader and an innovator in the North American dubstep/electronica scene. Part musician, part educator, Gates uses his travels to run workshops on sound, design and other aspects of the music business. This will be his first Rainbow serpent appearance.
James Munro
(Flying Rhino, Brazil)
It’s been a long time between drinks! For more than 15 years James Monro has been an integral part of the psychedelic dance music world as a producer, DJ and label owner. James is one of the founders of Flying Rhino Records and part of Technossomy and Bumbling Loons.
Monro’s background in the psychedelic trance scene fuses perfectly with a progressive style approach, resulting in spacious, atmospheric tribal grooves.
After gaining a worldwide following for his contributions to the old school Goa Trance movement, James Monro has evolved into a major headline name performing at various events across the globe. This will be his first appearance in Australia in over four years, but will no doubt be worth the wait!
Talpa / The Riddler
((Tesseract / Sundance, Sebia)Tesseract / Sundance, Sebia)
Never a stranger to our shores is Goran Juric, better known as Serbian Psychedelic trance artist Talpa. His music first appeared on compilations, including “Mandragor” and “Kalashari” featured on the “Vibraspirit 23” compilation released by Sundance Records and “Talpania” on the “Sundaze” compilations, also released by Sundance Records in 2002. After two years of no releases, his first album was released in 2004 entitled “The Art of Being Non”.
Talpa’s most recent project is The Riddler. An epic mixture of funk, psy and electro that is blowing up all over the world. No matter what tickles your fancy, Juric will no doubt bring his ‘A’ game to the dusty bowls of Rainbow.
