Wild Horses Festival is turning 10, and two lucky Beat readers are about to win their way in.
Victoria’s psychedelic underground is celebrating the Wild Horses Festival milestone with a return to Carapooee West from 13 to 16 November. The three-day anniversary edition is shaping up to be the festival’s most ambitious yet, with returning legends, rare Australian appearances and a mystery headliner still under wraps.
On the lineup, DEKEL marks his sixth Wild Horses appearance after making his Australian debut at the festival in 2018. SHTUBY returns for his fourth, Electrypnose will play three separate sets, and LIBRA is bringing unreleased material and a rare old-school Goa retro DJ set.
Etnica are back with four different projects (Etnica, Pleiadians, Tecnica and Etnica in Dub), while Sangoma Records founder Daksinamurti makes his first Australian appearance since 2008 with an extended main stage set on Saturday night.
Closing out the festival will be a secret 10th anniversary headliner, one of the biggest names in the psychedelic scene.
