Rabbits Eat Lettuce (Brisbane, Australia) 2026

About

Rabbits Eat Lettuce 2026 is set to enchant Brisbane from April 2-6, 2026, transforming the scenic Crystal Springs into a vibrant playground of music, art, and community. Known as a music festival of freedom, love, and dance, REL has cultivated a reputation for bringing together like-minded souls seeking to escape the urban rush and connect under the stars. Over five days, attendees can expect an extraordinary lineup of electronic, house, psytrance, techno, and hip-hop artists, as well as workshops, yoga, and immersive creative experiences, making it one of Australia’s most unique and transformational festivals.

The festival’s expansive grounds feature all-ages camping, RV access, and a mixture of covered and open-air stages, allowing attendees to fully embrace the elements while enjoying high-energy performances. From intimate sets that spark deep connection to large-scale stages that pulse with euphoric beats, every corner of Crystal Springs is designed to inspire joy, movement, and communal energy. The festival’s production values—including art installations, lighting, and sound design—ensure a multi-sensory adventure, where every visit becomes a personal story of exploration and self-discovery.

REL 2026 continues the event’s storied tradition, which began in 2008 as a Tribal Easter party, growing into a legendary East Coast underground festival that draws attendees from across Australia and beyond. Returning participants can expect beloved rituals, creative expression through themed costumes and camp decor, and an emphasis on positivity, community, and environmental respect. Festival-goers are encouraged to leave no trace, decorate their camps creatively, and immerse themselves fully in the transformational vibe.

Access to the festival is simple yet requires planning: gates open from 9am to 10pm on Thursday and Friday, and 10am to 6pm on Saturday, with early arrival recommended to secure camping spots. Transport options include shuttle buses from Brisbane Airport and Brisbane CBD, as well as RV and private vehicle access, though all vehicles require the appropriate pass. The surrounding area is conveniently reachable from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay, and Sydney, making it a hub for festival-goers traveling from across the country.

Rabbits Eat Lettuce 2026 promises a magical fusion of music, nature, and human connection, combining the pulse of live performances with art, workshops, and communal living under the Australian sky. Whether arriving for the music, the community, or the transformative experience, attendees will leave with memories that last far beyond the Easter weekend. It’s more than a festival—it’s a celebration of freedom, creativity, and shared joy, where every beat, every smile, and every step on the dance floor contributes to the collective story of REL 2026.
