26 - 28 November
Goulburn river - Victoria - Australia
*Our 11th year...*
Once more we return to the Goulburn River for 3 days of chakra realigning chaos. Shake out the cobwebs and rescramble your brain in readiness for the long hot summer ahead. This year we have expanded our lineup significantly to celebrate the incredible range of live acts on offer. Mostly appearing under the Big Top these acts span hip hop, breaks, dub, trance/jazz and more to give you a break from the jolly good pounding you will receive elsewhere on the site on the other 5 stages.
The market area sprawls across the site, linking the other areas with endless opportunities for tasty treats, refreshing juices, caffeine fixes, or a complete outfit change. This year will also feature a hairdresser and makeup artists, so there's no excuse for looking shabby on Saturday night (apart from going too hard on Friday night). The market will also include shaded chillout areas where you can enjoy your latest purchase, or just take a break from the constant activity elsewhere. Pass through the workshop area and head for the River to cool down and revitalize.
Gates open 9 am Friday 26 November...

Featuring free full-body massages by Thumpenstein, the 'mother' of all earthquake machines, feel the ground shake then get down and pray for forgiveness at the feet of the Almighty.

*Sunny (the return of Steve and gang)*
Melbourne's infamous underground club returns to Earthcore for a 6th time. Deep tribal house, dirty sticky electro, demented beats and Steve's infamous cousins messing around. What more could you want -
*Beats Working*
Formed out of a desperate bid to play their records to their friends, the Beats Working collective has quietly grown into something of a cornerstone in the Melbourne breaks scene. Never satisfied with boundaries of genre, dress or attitude they have worked hard to give their growing "family" a place each month where they can be themselves. Comprised of breakbeat enthusiasts, not purists, their tastes in music are as wide as their love for the broken beat.
*Meccanoid *
Meccanoid began in March 2002 as the brainchild of James Quirk and Emma Glitch. The idea was to establish a monthly night dedicated to the electro sound,. By early 2003 Meccanoid had taken off having its own theme, stunning decor and a venue full of costumed personalities. Meccanoid now resides at the Public Office where it continues to showcase the very best of electro in its broadest forms in a unique party environment...
