Ceremonies

The opening and closing rituals are created anew for each instalment of Elements Festival. These shared moments are designed to bring the whole tribe together and get our energies flowing to a unified rhythm. The artists who collaborate on each opening and closing show take inspiration from the natural environment, the original custodians of the land, and the events of the year that’s been. Every detail of the opening show is carefully constructed to intertwine with the rest, creating a chain reaction that flows through the festival as a wave of happy energy, setting our intentions for the event to come. We know how hard it is to say goodbye to the carefree shenanigans and non-stop smiles of the Elements world, so when the last beat of the final set fades out, our closing show is designed to gently coax you into a blissful state of serenity – ready to venture back into your daily life.
