One of the magic parts of Splore is giving yourself up to mystery and the unknown. Often that means cutting a groove to an artist you didn't know anything about playing an instrument you didn't know existed next to a stranger you'll never see again.
On Friday and Saturday it also meant texting a mystery number to get a reservation at Rogue Society's hidden Gin Bar, a speakeasy of delicious gin cocktails set amongst the trees.
Concrete Playground pulled out its burner phone and went along to sip on a Negroni or two made by Auckland's best bartenders. A secret oasis in the middle of a festival that's already something of a hidden getaway.
Check out our photos below and stay tuned for further Rogue Society activations.
