Earthcore's back bigger, better and dirtier than ever on Saturday 24th November, and the best way to get there is on the Earthcore bus. This year, with the Gatecrasher Festival happening on the same weekend, but finishing at 11pm, Earthcore have organized buses to pick you up at the end of Gatecrasher from Melbourne Park, take you to all the dirty fun at Earthcore, and then drop you back again for Gatecrasher Day 2 on the Sunday.

$10 round trip tickets are advised to be pre-purchased by Thursday 22nd November from Strange Days (Windsor), Alley Tunes (Hawthorn), Bizar (Box Hill), Central Station (City) or Ministry of Style (Fitzroy). As well as the Gatecrasher buses, the regular Earthcore buses will be leaving from Spencer Street at 5pm on Saturday 24th November, departing then from Mount Disappointment at 1pm on Sunday 25th.

So don't just stand there - grab a bus to move!

Taking place at Mount Disappointment in Victoria, Earthcore is guaranteed to deliver 24 hours of non-stop mayhem from midday Saturday until midday Sunday across four separate floors of full-on forest fun.
