Rainbow Serpent turns 20: a weekend of boundless hedonism
6 moments that made this year's Rainbow Serpent truly magical
4 Sunday night lasers
We’ve seen some laser and light shows in our time but the production values of what went down on Sunday night at the Market Stage were top shelf. Just as Mathew Jonson finished and darkness had well and truly descended, Extrawelt stepped up for a journey through live house, techno, acid, breaks and experimental electronica. Lasers cut through the sky creating a ceiling of light over the dancefloor that gave the feeling you were amid an industrial warehouse rave somewhere rather than the Australian bush. Later, we moved up the hill behind the stage to take it all in as Shlomo and Adriana Lopez took charge. This was our perch until 5am and the same effect wasn’t rolled out twice. Huge.
