Questions
What should I wear to Subsonic?
Warm layers. It is a forest festival at altitude, and the nights are much colder than the Sydney summer people pack for.
What footwear works at Subsonic?
Waterproof and worn in. Dust when dry, mud when it rains, and uneven ground either way.
Do I need a headtorch?
Yes. Bush sites are dark and phone torches are how people fall over guy ropes.
