While Victoria might have the highest concentration of doofs, Queensland has Rabbits Eat Lettuce — and it absolutely holds its own. Held on a stunning property near Warwick on the Darling Downs, about two hours southwest of Brisbane, REL has grown into one of the most anticipated festivals on the national doof calendar.
REL nails the balance between scale and intimacy. With multiple stages spread across bushland and open paddocks, there’s always somewhere new to discover. The music spans psytrance, minimal techno, progressive house, dub, and breaks. The production is seriously impressive for a regional festival — think custom-built stages, laser rigs, and sound systems that hit different at 4am in the Queensland bush.
The Boogie Collective has curated stages and brought artists to Rabbits Eat Lettuce across multiple editions. It’s a festival that aligns with our ethos — quality sound, considered curation, and a community that shows up properly. If you’ve danced at one of our stages at REL, you know the energy.
REL is a proper Easter weekend mission. Three-plus days of non-stop music, warm autumn nights, red dust, and a crowd that travels from across the country. The Queensland warmth means you’re not battling the cold like Victorian doofs — it’s singlets and bare feet from start to finish.
Around 5,000-7,000 people, which keeps it feeling connected without being overwhelming.
Easter long weekend, usually late March or April. The 2026 edition is expected to land around the same time.
Near Warwick, QLD — on the Darling Downs, about 2 hours southwest of Brisbane. Beautiful rolling country with scattered trees and plenty of space.
REL is Queensland’s doof crown jewel, and it’s earned every bit of that reputation.
