More than 950 people attended the festival at Willowbank last weekend, where bands provided back-to-back live music across two stages for about 12 hours.
Co-founder and director James Eggleston said the organising team couldn’t be happier with the day.
“Everything that we put together, every idea we had, every detail just seemed to grow into even better and bigger than we imagined,” he said.
Eggleston said some patrons were attending their first-ever music festival.
“We’re just humbled and really pumped that we were able to really present the first experience like this to those people who hadn’t been to something like this before,” he said. “Everyone’s saying how excited they are for the next one.
“Because of the success of this year we’ll have to work really hard on making sure, if we do go ahead again, that everything goes as well as it did. There’s only ever one first.”
