WAX + GEARS RETURNS! The pedal-powered, off-grid Music Carnival is back for 2024…

WAX + GEARS, a one-day festival of emerging music, sustainable practice and climate activism, takes place in an off-grid, pedal-powered arena within our large outdoor garden space at Future Yard. Drawing together the ideas of music discovery, vinyl culture, cycling, DIY, analogue and with an eco-conscious aesthetic, Wax + Gears will be a platform based around community, collective enrichment and celebration.

The event will be completely off-grid, with all power generated by a bank of dynamo bikes adjacent to the stage. The audience will be encouraged to ‘keep the pedals turning so the records keep on spinning!’ throughout the day.

Hosted by the inimitable Auntie Climax, we’ll have live music via our pedal-powered stage from Campfire Social, Pink Footage, Frank Cheese, and Gas Kunst, with Dance For Plants DJs set to provide the vibes throughout.
