Return to Rio

The musical mecca will host the cream of the electronic crop across three stages of massive music. Faithless and The Martinez Brothers will be headlining proceedings, while Argentina’s El Maestro, Hernán Cattáneo, will be reunited with Nick Warren for a very special B2B performance.

The sanctuary from sanity will also be soundtracked by Acid Pauli and DJ Luck & MC Neat, who are set to take over the ‘Masterblaster’ for a house and garage re-wind like no other. The infamous Rio pool party is back with prominent party-starter, Nightmares on Wax. Following Lee Burridge’s much-lauded closing performance of last year’s event, fellow All Day I Dream alumni, Sebastien Leger and Lost Desert are stepping up to the plate to cast a dreamy spell over the Hawkesbury. Dancefloor detonators, Eli & Fur, firm favourites of the Anjunadeep fold have been snared too along with Mr C, David Scuba, Superflu, Miss Melera and The Illustrious Blacks.

More than just music, Return to Rio is The Ultimate Weekend Away, a refuge from the real life and a shindig quite unlike any other. Attractions include:

- Random acts of kindness - where kindness is currency
- Hidden discos - seek and you shall find
- Australia’s most vibrant fancy dress party - all-three-days, no holds barred
- Waterpark - refreshingly fun
- Pool - channelling Club Tropicana
- Campground kangaroos - ‘straya
- Secret lodge soirees - where it pays to say hello to the neighbours
- Crazy golf - so cray cray

Sydney’s finest mixologists will take care of the cocktails and a selection of fantastic food trucks will make this a gourmet getaway to remember. Just 90 minutes from Sydney, Del Rio Riverside resort boasts riverside air-conditioned cabins and a hot tub or two will be adding a touch of glamour to the serene campgrounds. Houseboat accommodation options are also on offer.

Golden tickets are available online.
