• 120 artists in total graced the Sahara, Kakadu, Atoll, The Cave and El buccan-ear stages across the country this year.

• 1 x 4m x 3m Inflatable duck courtesy of DJ super group, Duck Sauce (featuring Armand van Helden and A-Trak), joined the tour this year and even took a paddle around Sydney Harbour.
