00:00 Dancing in the dry season at the territory's biggest party, where absolutely everyone is
00:07 invited. Twelve hours of entertainment from more than 30 acts, including a bit of sax.
00:17 There was something for all tastes in the heart of Darwin, from North Lane's heavy
00:25 metal to indie rock outfit Middle Kids. Party goers ticking off bucket list items.
00:32 With many festivals around the country going under, this event funded by the NT government
00:50 a relief for artists. It's been really sad but that's why we were
00:57 so excited for today because we were like, it's like old times, like being at a festival
00:58 like this has brought so much joy and so much light to us, so yeah, it's great.
01:03 Yeah look, it's a tough time for festivals everywhere so I think when you can pull one
01:06 together as amazingly as these guys have, credit to them.
01:09 More than 12,000 people flocked through the gates here at Mindal Beach, travelling from
01:13 around the territory and from interstate. The temperature, it got up to about 34 degrees,
01:18 but that hasn't dampened anyone's spirits. Police say the crowd was generally well behaved,
01:25 with only one arrest made. Top marks for the Top End's biggest festival.
