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)
“When the rock was hid by the surges’ swell,
The mariners heard the warning bell,
And then they knew the perilous rock,
And bless’d the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”
—Robert Southey (1774–1843)
“The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
