History
editOriginally started in 2015 as a two-day music and camping festival, the event expanded to three days in 2017; with attendance increasing from 3,000 in 2015[1] to 5,000 in 2016, and 7,500 for 2017 and 2018.[2] In 2019, the festival moved to a new location in Tarwin Meadows, a short distance away from the previous site at the Tarwin Lower Recreation Reserve.[3] After being forced to cancel the 2021 instalment due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[4] the festival returned in 2022 with an all-Australian lineup. It did not take place in 2023, and was instead replaced by a series of mini-festivals titled Unify Off The Record held in Mackay, Adelaide, Wollongong, Hobart and Frankston from May to June.[5]
