To get the most from your Festival Experience, you need to go prepared. Future Music Festival is a city that springs from the ground once a year at the wonderful surrounds of Royal Randwick Racecourse. Forget Lonely Planet – with so much on offer and so little time, here at ITM we felt it best to present you with a step-by-step guide to what’s possible, what’s essential and what to avoid in this unique place. So lace up your boots, don your best designer singlet and pack your glowsticks (actually, on second thoughts, don’t pack your glowsticks).

Summadayze rolled around again for another year, and the weather couldn’t decide what the hell was going on. Rain, sun and blue skies, cloud and then rain again – we got it all, all within the space of one minute. Unfazed by this, revellers arrived dressed in cut-off denim shorts, dayglo hats, canvas loafers, sunnies and Ed Hardy tank tops. Punters wanted a hot day, even if the weather didn’t want to oblige. On my arrival at 12pm there was a clear police presence as I saw several sniffer dogs around the venue, demonstrating clearly a show that they wanted neither any drugs or bad press.
