Secret Garden Announces Dates for Its 2018 Tenth-Anniversary Festival

Grab your diary. Call your mates. Reserve your horse. Secret Garden has just announced its tenth anniversary dates for 2018. And we're happy to tell you that Australia's beloved, grassroots, made-for-mates-by-mates festival will be taking place over 48 hours, across Friday, February 23 and Saturday, February 24.

You have less time, however, to scrape your cash together. Ticket sales kick off at 9am on Thursday, September 28. If you're a regular gardener, you'll know that they sell out pretty damn quickly, so don't dilly dally. Good news is, though, that, were you at the festival in 2015, 2016 or 2017, you're in for a sweet surprise in the form of pre-sales. To find out exactly what that involves and when it'll be occurring, keep a close eye on your inbox.

As usual, we won't know anything about the lineup or festival program until tickets are sold out. But, we can tell you that, as always, Secret Garden will bring you an immersive experience, a long way out of the city, within a magical natural setting transformed into a wonderland. You'll find yourself wandering through a forest maze, getting lost in massive installations, discovering unexpected pop-up performances and coming across tucked-away parties in custom-made rave caves. Maybe even getting married.

All we know for sure? As always, you're invited to wear your craziest, most dressed up fancy dress. Start planning.

Secret Garden will run from February 23–24, 2018. Tickets on sale 9am Thursday, September 28. More details on the festival's (insanely awesome) website.
