One of Australia’s premier festivals Rainbow Serpent Festival is holding a one-off city event called Rainbow Reunion at Melbourne Pavilion on April 17.
Rainbow Reunion marks a new beginning for the festival, which will shift to new dates in April when it returns to its permanent home on the shared Dja Dja Wurrung and Wadawurrung Countries in Lexton in 2023.
In the meantime, fans will be able to experience Rainbow favourites like Antix, Grouch, Freq and Spoonbill in Kensington, at the Melbourne Pavilion. The scope will be suitably extensive, with four stages and two outdoor areas, an art gallery with live painters, live artistic performers, and a market and food bazaar.

As usual, there’ll be a selection of psytrance, progressive, house, techno and bass artists, with the full lineup also including the likes of ASHEZ, Doppel, Sunshine, Bayawaka, Bec Grenfell, and Jamie Stevens, just to name a few.
When Rainbow returns in 2023, it will return to the same beloved location but in the cooler Autumn months, which has likely come as some relief for anyone who’s done the five days in a stuffy tent.
