Tickets: http://www.moshtix.com.au/event.aspx?id=38879

Location hasn't been announced as yet - will keep ya'll posted.

It was a toss up out of this one and Rainbow as we can only afford either one... so, we went with this.. the line up is just too damn irresistible.

If you're keen then get get onto some tickets ASAP as they are selling out pretty damn fast!!!!

 

[baysieguy1]

This is just an awesome line up, just noticed green nuns in the 2nd round announcements. I think that must mean Mr Trevor is in the country

Would love to come to this, but the timing is just crap for me. oh well next year

 

[zemullman]

You chose this over Rainbow!!?? :O :O :O I mean it's a pretty damn amazing lineup but still does not compare to rainbow :D

I was tempted to go to this but just have too much work due around that time

 

[Samadhi]

We will have been back only a week from Thailand, so probably going to give it a miss. I don't think Falcor will be too pleased to be put back at the cat hotel after his extended holiday.

The line up looks amazing though - Telefon Tel Aviv, Terrafractyl, Tetrameth! WOO!

 

[drugfukkdrockstar]

You chose this over Rainbow!!?? :O :O :O I mean it's a pretty damn amazing lineup but still does not compare to rainbow :D

Rainbow is no doubt an amazing festival, but im following the tunes this time as i am in need of a serious boogie! The last Rainbows tunes just didn't do it for me.

 

[zemullman]

Rainbow is no doubt an amazing festival, but im following the tunes this time as i am in need of a serious boogie! The last Rainbows tunes just didn't do it for me.

Yep that's a fair call! I just love rainbow so much so i'm biased hehe. But damn it is an awfully impressive lineup!! Still considering getting a ticket myself.

Disappointed i missed wrecked machines at rainbow last year...could hear them from my tent but couldn't move!

 

[drugfukkdrockstar]

^hehe that's alright hunny it certain is a great festival... i just wish they'd get the kind of line up Strawberry has here.... Rainbow needs more cosmic psy... and some more awesome electro. I dunno, the festival is awesome but the music kinda makes me bored and music is a big part of my life and well being and all that jazz, so it's important to me.

Strawberry has a dream line up.. its really too go to resist imo.... i reckon you should come :D

 

[Gigant$chism]

Definitely y'all should make it to this...

Tsyoshi Suzuki [Mad Skippers / JAP]
Shadow FX [Zenon / AUS]
Tetrameth [Zenon / AUS]
Sensient [Zenon / AUS]
Decoy [Iboga / AUS]
Antix [Iboga / NZ]
Freq [Iboga / AUS]
Numinoid [MADSKIPPERS / JAP]
Terrafractyl [Sundance / AUS]
Ben Evans [Interview / AUS]

to name just a few...

I totally agree that "The last Rainbows tunes just didn't do it for me".
The tunage here will be out of this world. Lets hope a site gets announced soon
Bring it on!

 

[sir pacman]

Party plan raving mad

CONCERNED Pyalong residents and emergency service personnel are urging Mitchell Shire Council to pull the plug on a planned rave party at a local property next month.

More than 2000 revellers are expected to turn out to the three-day-long Strawberry Fields dance party, which is scheduled to begin on November 26 on a West Road property.

But health and safety concerns could see the party’s organisers searching for a new venue, with one worried resident lodging a formal objection and petition to Mitchell Shire Council, urging them to reject the permit application for the party.

“We will be in the midst of fire season and Pyalong will be tinder dry,” the objector, who asked not to be named, said.

“The access road for this music event is (a) very narrow single vehicle track at best, it's quite rough with tight corners - a fire truck would have trouble accessing this event if there were a serious fire threat,” he said.

“This event will be running 24 hours a day for three days … so it will greatly impact on the residents, local community and our animals, etcetera.”

The objector said residents were also worried about the noise the rave would produce, with non-stop music and night-time laser light shows a major selling point for the event.

“When do we get sleep?” he questioned.

“My partner and I are both shift workers.”

He said he was also concerned that party goers would take drugs at the event, with the festival’s organisers reportably linked to the December 2007 Ultraworld Festival held at Ballarat’s Kryal Castle where 14 people were treated after overdosing

According to reports at the time, six of the 14 people required resuscitation, with three ending up in intensive care at the Ballarat Base Hospital.

“I feel this event cannot be properly policed …” the objector said.

“How are police supposed to thoroughly search ever vehicle going into his event for drugs etc, when they are expecting 2,200 party goers?” he questioned.

Twenty-seven Pyalong residents signed the petition accompanying the objection.

The objector said that, like fire trucks, ambulances would also have issues accessing the property.

“Ambulance access is the same as the fire truck - a very narrow track one way in and one way out and if there was a serious incident Kilmore Hospital would almost certainly refer them to the Northern Hospital at Epping some one hour’s drive away or Bendigo - 45 minutes away - in which time the patron could be deceased,” he said.

Pyalong Fire Brigade Captain Trevor Witham said holding the festival at the beginning of the bushfire season could prove deadly.

He said he agreed with the objector’s comments in relation to emergency service access, should it be required.

“There’s no access, if we get a south-running fire off a northerly (wind) that would be a disaster,” he said.

“If it (a fire) started there and headed south we’d have a dickens of a job getting to it.”

Captain Witham said fire fighters would probably not have an issue with the rave party if it were being held in the cooler months.

“If it was in the middle of winter who’d care?” he said.

The North Central Review made several unsuccessful attempts to contact the organisers of Strawberry Fields.

Meanwhile, tickets to the festival are believed to be almost sold out, with the festival’s website promising party goers an event like no other.

“For three days you will live with thousands of strangers, encountering the limits of human sight and sound and surpassing them, making new friends, losing your sanity, finding it again and experiencing all that life has to offer,” the website reads.

“There will be no rules, save that you respect one another and yourself,” it continues.

Mitchell Shire Council Chief Executive Officer David Keenan said a decision on whether to allow Strawberry Fields to go ahead will be made at the next council meeting on October 25

Mr Keenan also defended the council after it was claimed that some neighbours had not received a letter advising them of the permit application.

‘Mitchell Shire Council sent out 25 letters to landholders deemed to be potentially impacted by the planning application,” he said.

Ticket bought!

Be good to meet some more fellow BL's as well.

 

[drugfukkdrockstar]

God dammit i am hoping they find a new location.. i don't like the sound of the road.

This better not get canceled at the last fricken minute either.

 

[baysieguy1]

I am sure these guys will get everything sorted and you will all have a great doof weekend, meanwhile in breaking news, I am gonna stomp myself stooopid at the launch party

 

[sir pacman]

I am sure it will be fine too.

Bit disappointed in the article headline "Party Plan Raving Mad" Cant be to sell newspapers as its a free newspaper. Wouldn't worry me if I was a neighbour but then I must admit I am biased. Only one objection so hopefully the council realise its a good opportunity to expose the area to a few thousand people who probably haven't been their before. And I am sure the local pub and shop nearby will benefit.

 

[baysieguy1]

Hey guys, I have chatted to one of the organisers about the site.

THE SITE IS LOCKED AND LOADED 100%

the application that is referred to is for another site they were looking at and is not going to be used.

The actually site is all signed off on.

Looks like an awesome doof, would love to be going.

 

[sir pacman]

Well then baysie spill it!

Where??

Bummer its not going to be where i thought it was. But now it probably means

RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD TTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIPPPPP!!!!!!!!

 

[finnymonsta]

The 20 or so people trying to stop this rave are old farmers and their wives who would be happy if Pyalong was shut off from the world for good. These few people don't represent the broader community in Pyalong although they have been behaving like the royalty and acting like they are the only people who live there. The lie being told by the fire chief is absurd given the green condition of the paddocks and I only hope these 20 or so spoilsports don't try to speak for the hundreds of normal non farming fun loving Pyalong citizens. I have lived in Pyalong for 35 years and would love too see a great event like this happen in my town. I have been to many raves and even the farmers would marvel at how peaceful and non violent these events are. Over the years I have seen more fights at the Pyalong pub than I have at any rave even with 20-000 people attending. The media has a lot of papers to sell and wont tell you about the excellent behaviour shown by 99.9% of ravers only the rare few who get into trouble with drugs make the news (they are not interested in reporting about successful raves when nothing bad happens) So to all the people thinking of going don't let the boring wowsers stop you and have fun in Pyalong for it is a special little town with mostly good people. To the critics you enjoyed your waltz at the local dance let us enjoy ours!!

 

[sir pacman]

finnymonsta,

strawberry fields is not going to be at pyalong. pyalong was one of the sites that was considered but another site has been chosen and locked in. shame as would'nt have had to travel far and think the area would have made a great venue!

 

[ooh.shiny]

Why would the media report people having a good time at a rave? Think about it, is it actually interesting to anyone who wasn't there? It's like getting annoyed about how the media don't report about families going to zoos and having a good time looking at animals.

Great Location. Been there before and beautiful country. :D

Yorta Yorta Dhungala

Barmah Region Natonal Park

Camping, Arts & Music Festval
...
Distance from Melbourne ≈ 250 Kilometers
Distance from Sydney≈ 770 Kilometers
Distance from Adelaide ≈ 720 Kilometers
Distance from Canberra ≈ 550 Kilometers

Yorta Yorta Dhungala is the traditional name for the river which divides Victoria and New South Wales, running right through the Barmah Forest. In 2010 we celebrate our partnership with the traditional land owners, The Yorta Yorta people.

The smiles, the sunburn, the sounds, the sky and the clouds. The strangers, the friends, and the foreigners. The driving, the dancing, the laughing, and the falling over in the dark. The campsite envy, the forgetting of socks, the lack of ice and surplus of dirt. These are the things which will define the greatest weekend of your life. There will be no rules, save that you respect one another, the land and yourself. There will be no walls, only patchwork fences that do little to shut out the beauty of the surrounding Australian bush. For three days you will live with thousands of strangers, encountering the limits of human sight and sound and surpassing them, making new friends and experiencing all that life has to offer.

Welcome to paradise. Welcome to the wild world of Yorta Yorta Dhungala & Strawberry Fields.

With amazing camping and one of the most anticipated international and local line-ups ever to hit Australian shores. From the godfather of Detroit techno, Juan Atkins, to progressive trance pioneers Liquid Soul & Neelix, this year’s event will showcase both established and emerging talent from around the world. From dub to dance music, there should be something to satisfy almost any musical appetite. Having united crews from Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Cairns, YYD represents a collaborative effort by the nation’s finest, bringing you the freshest and most unique production to date in what is quickly emerging as Australia’s premier camping , arts and music festival.

We thank and celebrate the Yorta Yorta people of North Eastern Victoria, who have graciously agreed to host this year’s event. This will be the first time that native land owners have had an active role in facilitating such an event, and we hope that this mark a new tradition in mutual cooperation and respect. It is truly a momentous occasion and speaks to the spirit of the festival, a weekend that is intended to build new bridges and relationships through the shared experience of camping, arts, and entertainment. We show great appreciation to our hosts for their generous contribution to this year’s festival – an opportunity to visit a never before used site with many incredible features, appreciating the raw power of nature encompassed by these traditional lands and protected by the Yorta Yorta.

Indulge yourself in a sensory feast, incredible art and visual productions, cortex tingling lighting, outdoor cinema, market stalls, , including crystal clear state-of-the-art sound, unusual installations, healing areas and more. It’s time to escape the urban mundane for a mind-bending weekend in the great Australian bush.

Spread the good vibrations and be part of something truly special.
