WE ARE BACK ❤️
The figure on stage nods to the beat. Headphones on, deep in concentration with a small, pleased smile on their lips…
Grass and mud squelch underfoot. It’s late and your breath curls in front of you as vague, silver wisps. But beneath your layers of cotton and wool you’re warm. You take another sip…
Coming from deep within one of the towering stacks, a husky bassline pushes through the crowd. Your chest rumbles and you share an excited glance with a stranger, then a close friend…
One-hour rolls into the next… You and your friends leave the stage tipsy but surefooted… You break into a run… Boots slap mud… The echoes of the stage grow quiet…
At last. You collapse into your tent. A pile of sweaty bodies with the shoes left on.
. . .
The buzzing of an insect. You stir.
Birdsong. You rub your eyes.
A frisky oink somewhere in the distance and you’re up.
You and your friends recline in camp chairs outside the tent, relishing the mid-morning light. You exchange tales from the night just gone and nurse the collective hangover until you feel ready enough for the pilgrimage towards the festival centre.
Soon enough, with a snack in hand and your water bottle in the other, your crew sets off to hunt down some breakfast. You still feel a little groggy as you pass familiar groups of revellers on the way to the food trucks, but the anticipation of what the day will bring is starting to mount.
The air is fresh. The grass is green. and it’s only a matter of time before the first act of the day takes the stage and those burly speaker columns begin to hum again.

𝑾𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒕 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒆’𝒔 is a multi day camping festival with a wholly electronic music focus. Plopped down upon a winery, nestled amongst Western Australia’s iconic bushland, and just an hour and a half drive from the CBD. The second last weekend of October this year is slated to play host to a massive all-star lineup from internationals, a Berghian resident, east coast heavy hitters and once again the best of Perth’s local talent. Here’s what to expect from this weekend away:
» 𝐕𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭
Voyager’s titanic PA will be deployed in all its glory. Powering the mainstage at levels unheard off, this will be some of the best sound ever heard in Perth.
» Oases Stage - Ambient
A place where minds meld together in a pleasant and peaceful space when seeking rest, relaxation, and otherworldly soundscapes. From the creators of Leisure State, System and Holiday Feelings, we welcome you with a warm embrace. Ambient, sincere and soothing, with a steaming cuppa, Oases is a space to lie back and let the sounds wash over you.
Alex Coles (Leisure State/System) and Olivia Tartaglia (Holiday Feelings) first shared tools on the Y-Axis stage of the the inaugural Planet X, and have since been working closely together on stages, spaces and productions for Boorloo’s underground events. Oases is a result of their shared vision of a contemporary, new age space, paired with a line-up of local artists to deliver an abundance of memories in the spectrum of solace and soul restoration.
Take a break. Oases will keep you cool, calm and collected.

The 𝑾𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒕 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒆’𝒔 team acknowledges the Pinjarup Noongar people as the rightful and true owners of the unceded land we gather upon. We pay our respects to Elders of the past, present, and future and extend that respect to the young leaders in the community. Our team stands with all Indigenous Australians and ask any First Nations people interested in attending the festival to please contact us so that we may better accommodate you.

New measures put in place, WAB fest. Has a no tolerance policy if you are any of the above you will be escorted and removed from the event. Taken to a safe room until the morning and be asked to go home or alternatively taken to the police station. We will not tolerate any unsafe behaviour.
Bigoted/antisocial/micro-aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated for any reason. This includes but is not limited to: Unnecessary bumping, shoving, creepy staring, fighting, harassment, exclusion, or anything else you wouldn’t do to your grandma.
Be kind. Help each other. Report dangerous individuals to security or a member of staff.
We sincerely hope that everybody who attends feels the ability to enjoy themselves freely, without judgment or inhibition.
This means showing respect and appreciation for all of our peers and fellow event-goers, especially those part of marginalized groups in society.
Communities such as LGBTQ+ and BIPOC have long struggled to find spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and equal - Which some may take for granted.
We believe it is the moral responsibility of all attendees of Weekend at Bernies to uphold these values to ensure a welcoming space for all.
Security staff, DJ’s and b staff will also be in place to help things run smoothly - threatening, aggressive, predatory, or discriminatory behavior will not be welcome here and you will be removed.
We would also like to add please be aware of your surroundings, do not share drinks, take anything from someone you do not know. This is a safe space and safe event and we have done everything to keep you safe but we need your help also ❤️
