Running from Jan 30th until Feb 1st 2015 Cool Summer Festival defies Mother Nature; this one of a kind music festival is set to return in 2015 with a weekend fit for a Queen. And the King. And the little princes. And the villagers and their besties…

Imagine this – it’s sweltering hot, parched and crawling with tourists on the ‘flatlands’ (y’know, Melbourne, Albury, Bairnsdale, Mornington, Bright… those flatlands) and you know the beaches and rivers will be swarming with manic families trying to cool down for their last weekend of school holidays. Yet up at Mt Hotham, the air is balmy, laced with the sweet smell of wildflowers. Beside you, an esky full of your favourite boutique beer and a bottle of wine from that delightful trip to the Yarra Valley is nestled amongst a picnic, some cushions, a bottle of sunscreen, French cheese and your very best mates.  You’ve just wandered up the slope from your lodge, freshly showered and ready for two days of fabulous, hip shaking funk, roots, rock & roll. A butterfly lands on your stubby holder. You gaze in wonder at the 360 degree views and lie back in rapture, watching kids ride the chairlift amongst the snow gums. Heaven on a stick.

Tickets and info at www.coolsummerfestival.com. Three days of music and indulgence, on two stages in the middle of nowhere, with the luxury of everything.

To celebrate, Tone Deaf are giving away a couple double passes to the festival. Enter your details below to win.
