Rock and Rise

We’re thrilled to have our very own Jaime and Brittany (Rock and Rise volunteer organisers) leading guided yoga sessions all weekend long! Included with your festival pass, these morning classes are designed to help you slow down, tune in, and prepare your body for the day ahead.
Roll out your mat and join us at 7:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday morning for movement, mindfulness, and a little extra stoke before the day’s adventures begin.

New for 2026, a wellness tent!
