Experience
At Rain Dance, the music comes first and everything else is built around it. We design the festival from the sound up, crafting an environment that amplifies, complements and sometimes challenges the three-day sonic trip. From stage design, lighting, vibes and visuals, it’s all engineered to pull you deeper into the journey.
The Music
Rain Dance is an underground bass music festival built for those who live and breathe sound system culture. We focus on carefully curated lineups that champion emerging talent and unsung heroes — not just trending names. Every set is chosen to create a full-spectrum musical journey where discovery is part of the experience. If you come for a few favourites and leave with a dozen more, we’ve done it right.
Come curious, leave converted.
The Programming
Rain Dance is built on intention and nowhere is that clearer than in our programming. We spend more time curating lineups than anything else, crafting a weekend that offers depth, variety and flow across two main stages. Whether you’re chasing deep wubs, funky breaks, or glitched-out weirdness, you can follow your sound across both stages in totally different settings. Need a breather? Our side stages, renegades and chill zones serve up lighter vibes without losing the magic.
The Crew
Rain Dance isn’t just about the music — it’s about who you’re dancing next to. We’ve built a community of like-minded bass lovers who get it and we’re not diluting that to pack in more ticket sales or genres that don’t fit the vibe. When you’re here you’re surrounded by people who love the same sounds, the same energy and the same magic. It’s not a crowd, it’s a crew and you’re a part of it.
Markets &
Lifestyle Village
Forgot your cloak, need a midnight feast or curious about crystal-infused… accessories? Our Lifestyle Village has you sorted. With food to fuel your rave, gear to level up your fit and weird little wonders you didn’t know you needed. This is your hub for good eats, good finds, and great chats — no cash-only panic required.
Arts, Workshops
& Performances
We’re a music festival first but there’s a whole lot more to stumble into. From mind-bending art and live performances to circus freaks, flow fiends and hands-on workshops. Our non-musical programming is designed to surprise, delight and connect. It’s the weird little moments between sets that turn strangers into friends and good weekends into great stories.
Our Mission?
We’re here to break the algorithm. You’ll leave with a new favourite artist, see legends play unfiltered and connect with people who vibe the same way you do. We don’t do mainstream bookings or surface-level sets — we create a space for deep listening, new discoveriesand a real community. That’s the mission. Simple.
