Our Staff Around the Festival!

We are so lucky to have such an incredible team behind this festival.

Here are just some of the many faces working tirelessly behind the scenes. From early mornings to late nights, our staff showed up for the festival and for each other every single day.

This festival simply wouldn’t happen without their hard work, long hours, teamwork, and all the little things most people never get to see.

With more than 90 staff working across the entire festival from setting up and packing down activations, running the merchandise sites, maintaining Cooke Park, managing our Leagues Club shows, assisting guests with anything they needed, and so much more every single one of them made an impact.

To our whole crew, thank you. Your dedication is the reason everything comes together, and we’re incredibly grateful to have every one of you 🤍
