The Pyramid Rock Festival is a New Year's Eve camp-out rock music festival at Pyramid Rock, Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia.
Beginning in 2004, it runs over two nights with two stages - the Main Stage, and the Pharaoh's Annex. As its name suggests, the Main Stage hosts the major local and international acts, while the Pharaoh's Annex features lesser-known local acts, and in the later evening, the more dance-oriented acts of the festival. There is also a variety of market stalls.
Famous quotes containing the words pyramid, rock and/or festival:
“So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
—Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)
“Sabbath. A weekly festival having its origin in the fact that God made the world in six days and was arrested on the seventh.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
