welcome
Internationally recognised as one of the longest running music festivals on the Australian music industry calendar, Stonefest celebrates its 40th birthday this year.
It’s a difficult task trying to find superlatives to sum up forty years of festival history. Suffice to say, since its inception four decades ago to commemorate the unveiling of the University of Canberra’s foundation stone, Stonefest has without a doubt organically developed its own unique place on the Australian music industry map.
With diverse and quirky line ups that always read like the who’s who of local, interstate, and international music talent – Stonefest organisers this year pay homage to the festivals 40th birthday with an impressive collection of artists from around the globe.
This year the two day music festival will utilise a new location set amongst the beautifully landscaped campus grounds.

stonefest essentials
BUY YOUR TICKET EARLY
Tickets are strictly limited. To avoid disappointment, get in early as no tickets will be reserved for the door if the event sells out prior to commencement.
GET THERE EARLY
Avoid the qeues and get there early. Don't be the one stuck at the back of the line while your favorite band is on stage. Be smart, get there early and soak up as much of the Stonefest atmosphere as possible.
THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT WHAT YOU BRING
All bags will be searched upon entry. Patrons are not permitted to bring alcohol, drugs or anything else deemed unsuitable into the venue. UCU reserves the right to refuse entry. Stonefest is primarily an outdoors event. Dress sensibly, the event will take place regardless of weather conditions. Be responsible for your own belongings. UCU accepts no responsibility for the loss or damage to personal belongings.
ORGANISE TRANSPORT BEFORE THE EVENT
You know the deal, driving under the influence is a big no no. Organise well before the event how you are going to get there and how you are going to get home. As you can imagine, taxis on the night will be hard to get so don’t be scared to ask Grandma, Dad or a completely sober mate for a lift.
GET INTO THE SPIRIT
Stonefest is your festival — it's put on for you so have an awesome time.
WATCH YOURSELF, WATCH YOUR FRIENDS, WATCH YOUR DRINK
Watch your drink, take care of yourself and keep an eye on your friends. Drink in moderation, we want you to have a good time, not a wasted time.
BRING ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT
There are only two ATMs on the campus and during this busy period they are not easily accessible and are prone to running out of money and or becoming out of order from heavy use.
BRING YOUR PHOTO PROOF OF AGE ID
Stonefest is an 18+ only event, please ensure that you bring along your proof of age card (a licence or registered proof of age card with a photo).
IF YOU'RE A STUDENT WITH A DISCOUNTED TICKET
If you have a discounted student ticket, you will have to present your student card upon entry and make sure that you have correct enrolment details.
DON’T REMOVE YOUR ARMBAND
Upon entry, you will be given an armband that is valid for entry on both days. If you are attending both days, please ensure that this armband is not removed from your arm. Any armbands that have been removed and or tampered with will become void and entry will be refused.
HAVE A GREAT TIME!
Make the most of your time at Stonefest. The premiere entertainment event in Canberra only happens once a year so dance up a storm and rock out like there is no tomorrow!
