Babylon Festival 2019

Overview

Kicking off on Valentine's Day, Babylon carries you deep into the Victorian wilderness. You'll find this festival hidden away in Stuart Mill Nature Conservation Reserve, around two and a half hours northwest of Melbourne.

It's a magical experience, where you can count on unexpected happenings, immersive installations and alternative realities. Roving performers – armed with musical instruments, decked in fantastical costumes and bearing artworks – are a major element in the program.

Meanwhile, an array of stages host a constant stream of Australian and international music acts, playing techno, house, spy-trance, electronica and ambient. Whatever mood you're in, there's a spot for you. Among 2019's artists are techno DJ Amelie Lens (Belgium), dance floor master Bjarki (Iceland), trip-hoppers Earthling (UK) and psychedelic trancer Laughing Buddha (UK), among stacks of others.

Take your own tent or van, or book a spot in a luxury bell tent in Babylon's Alpha Camp.
