Three ‘Total Package’ Winter Festivals to Get in Your Calendar
Gear up for the chilly season with these must-see music and art events and Bonds Total Package™ Undies.
Just because winter is setting in for those south of the equator, it doesn’t mean we have to give up epic music experiences. In fact, an adventure-filled winter event can be just what you need to make the chilly season a bit more enjoyable.
This is your excuse to dance around the bonfire, live eternally nocturnally, indulge in darker delights, lose yourself under moonlight, inhale fresh air, feast on comfort food. That’s what winter festivals are all about.
So, if you’re after an escape from the cold into the best music, food and art – Rolling Stone has teamed up with Bonds Total Package™ Undies to bring you the events that have it all.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, one of the standout festivals on our list is Dark Mofo, held annually in Hobart. Known for its eerie and experimental vibe, Dark Mofo celebrates the winter solstice and boasts an inimitable lineup of music and art.
Diving into darker themes and the Gothic aesthetic of the winter season, the festival’s music, art installations and performances are as diverse as they are exciting. Rug up – or strip off – and let loose.
Under the moonlight of frosty Melbourne is another festival bringing the heat: RISING. A culmination of creativity, music, food, art and culture, this festival takes over the city for two weeks of euphoric experiences.
On the music front? You’ll have a chance to explore and expand, with dreamy sets from Weyes Blood, Flying Lotus, or Esa’s afro-synth band ft Kamazu and Mim Suleiman. With 2023 dates confirmed for 7 June to 18 June, and over 180 events with highlights from 400 artists, this is one you’ll want to put on your calendar stat.
Prefer your lineup to include a spot of outdoor adventure? Look no further than Snow Machine. New Zealand’s iconic ski trip turned music festival features four jam-packed days of music, snow and aprés atop The Remarkables and Coronet Peak mountains.
By day, you’ll hit the slopes. By night, you’ll hit up the huge number of events happening around Queenstown and dance on table tops to your favourite DJs against a mountainous backdrop. It doesn’t get any better.
