Inspired by the ancient colour festival Holi, SpringFlare is about celebrating diversity and cultivating human spirit.
This unique, colour-fuelled music festival is an all-ages event, bringing people together to dance, listen to live music and get coloured head to toe! Founding Co-Director of SpringFlare and former UQ student Mcklein Javeri says: “We wanted to create a truly unique festival experience this year, one that embodies the principles of Holi in bringing people together, breaking down barriers and building a sense of community.
"Music festivals around the world are all about coming together with friends to enjoy music, so we thought we would combine the two concepts and throw the most colourful music festival Australia has ever seen.”
SpringFlare’s musical line-up caters to all tastes from psych-rock to hip hop, indie-pop and electronic dance. Renowned for high-energy jams, Melbourne five-piece The Delta Riggs will play SpringFlare, where they'll be joined by Sydney hip hop duo Jackie Onassis. Melbourne music makers Willow Beats will be bring their bass-heavy electronic sounds alongside Gold Coast producer Mikey Perry, aka Paces, who will have everyone up and dancing with his bouncy, tropical-infused tracks.
The colour-fuelled festivities will kick off from 12:30pm, with colour countdowns happening hourly – where festivalgoers all dressed in white throw coloured powder into the sky to celebrate. “Hourly colour countdowns that explode with colour and sound as thousands of people simultaneously throw colour into the sky in celebration, timed to the drops of your favourite songs, performed live – now that is something to get excited about,” Javeri says.
