Prepare yourself for a weekend of sensory overload. Non-stop dancing, music of all genres, art installations, food trucks, and delicious cocktails are all on the Goomfest 2 menu.
Set on a picturesque farm in Wangoom, 10 minutes outside Warrnambool, the festival brings together alternative up-and-coming musical acts and artists. The two-day camping festival allows for bring-your-own food and glass-free drinks and has been a popular inclusion into the growing south-west music and creative scenes.
Festival director Samuel Pyers is thrilled to bring Goomfest back for its second year.
“We aim to create a space to expose the community to the world-class artists and musicians in the area,” he said. “Our main goal is that people leave feeling inspired. I’m looking forward to grabbing a cocktail and having a boogie.”
Join musical acts Antiphon, Dumb Punts, Dr Sures Unusual Practice, Smarts, Aika, School Damage, Auntie Leo and the Backstabbers, Girlatones, Andre Agony and Boolumwal Gulka alongside DJs Jim Westlake, Rukkus, AOTS, DJ Carly, DJ Co-Dee and DJ Life Admin. Cake Industries, Virus Sound System and D.I.Y. HiFi will create their masterpieces throughout the day.
