6 reasons you need to get in the car and head to Dookie this November:
It’s the time of year where everything feels like… a lot.
The emails won’t stop. The screen glare is real. The group chat is feral.
Basically, it’s time to get in the car and go somewhere with tunes, sunshine and rocks that have been around for aeons.
Somewhere like… Dookie.
We’ve rounded up 6 solid reasons why Grounded festival is the summer reset you need.
1. You need to get Grounded.
It’s November. Your nervous system is fried. Your boss just called another ‘quick meet’.
And you’re (we’re guessing) over it?
Enter: Grounded, where there’s grass, sunsets and a bar with cocktails.
2. The line-up will heal your soul.
Big year? Same. But the Grounded line-up will soothe us.
We’ve got Isaiah Firebrace, This Way North, The Meltdown and a quarry full of wildly talented local artists.
Be enamoured, be delighted, be outside.
3. The Oasis gig left you overstimulated AF.
Yes, it was iconic. Yes, it was a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
But standing shoulder-to-shoulder with other sweaty fans at Marvel Stadium kinda cooked your nervous system.
Grounded is the antidote: one stage, a space to stretch out under the stars and… endless cheese boards.
4. TikTok told you to go on another hot person walk – and Dookie is the vibe.
If you decide to stay the weekend and fully yourself in the Dookie experience, you’ll thank yourself.
You’ll walk up Mount Major. You’ll drink lattes with the cows. You’ll journal. You’ll dance at Grounded, get high on fresh air, have a ball at our afterparty gig at The Gladstone the next day.
And you’ll deserve it all. Obviously.
5. Your therapist said you need to get out.
And who are you to argue with your therapist? (She also said you need to go to Grounded).
6. Because Grounded is a once-in-a-lifetime experience (much like Oasis)
But it’s not hectic, and not even hectic-adjacent.
Just soul-filling music, stunning land and space to breathe.
It’s boutique, it’s beautiful, and it’s happening November 29.
