To survive and thrive and make it through the 10-hour music marathon known as The Grass Is Greener, there are some rules and essential info you need to know.

If you want to stay fresh all the way to the end of headline act Hermitude, not to mention keep dancing during three-time ARIA Award nominee LDRU and global act LooK, you've got to know what's what.

That's where this info comes in handy: 

DO

  • Prepare for the party of spring/summer!
  • Visit an ATM before you arrive and get your cash out prior
  • Put on your favourite festival threads

DO NOT

  • Leave buying a ticket to the last minute (you will miss out)
