Scattered illuminated orange domes in the darkness.
26 May - 6 Jun

The Wilds

  • Festival
  • Art

Nature has taken over the entire Sidney Myer Music Bowl, transforming its iconic amphitheatre into a supernatural forest of ice, art, music and moonlight.

Enter through a bamboo forest and encounter mirrored illusions, architectural tunnels of light, large-scale sculpture, video art and the return of a beloved tradition – ice-skating on the bowl’s stage.

From devouring cult snacks by the fire and fine dining in the atrium, to moving in and through artworks, or ice skating to a DJ beneath Luke Jerram’s giant Museum of the Moon, The Wilds is a one-way ticket to elemental experiences. Rug up and get lost.
