Lost Minds runs Saturday 10 July from midday through to 11pm at Exhibition Park. It's an 18+ festival, so expect a crowd that actually knows what they're doing. We don't have the full line-up just yet, but the premise is straightforward: good music, good company, proper festival atmosphere.
The vibe
Exhibition Park's got the space to breathe, and Lost Minds uses it well. You're getting a full day outdoors with the kind of energy that builds properly from afternoon into evening. It's the sort of festival where you might discover something new and end up talking about it for months.
