Solstice At The Mount

About

The Mount's Opening Ceremony will take place on the evening of Summer Solstice on 21st June 2023. A moment that takes place at the same time everywhere on the planet, the Solstice connects everyone in a truly global moment.

At Wasing we see things differently. That we are inherently part of nature and that what harms the planet ultimately harms us; everything is connected. And it is from this alternative narrative in an ever-changing world that the iconic Mount was born as a fresh and pioneering space for people and planet to connect, unplugged from everyday reality. This spectacular, open air woodland amphitheatre with panoramic treescape vistas amplifies the senses, providing immersive musical experiences in the heart of nature.

Headlined by Australian singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd, the incredible one-man band, performs his intoxicating blend of folk, blues and reggae supporting social consciousness, environmental issues and Aboriginal rights. This is a rare performance from the highly regarded artist, perfectly suited to the launch of the space.
