Electric Gardens


Electric Gardens,, sometimes abbreviated to 'EGFestival', or 'EGFest', or sometimes simply 'EG', was a medium-sized 'Boutique' Music Festival situated at Mount Ephraim, Faversham in Kent. The event was held on a weekend in early August in 2006 and 2007.
Electric Gardens 2008 was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. In February 2008 a key player in organising the event was taken to hospital with a life-threatening illness. With no foreseeable date as to when he would be allowed home, let alone back to work, the organisers were forced to cancel.
In 2016, Electric Gardens Festival was launched in Sydney, Australia - only connected in name to the original festival in the UK. The festival was on Saturday 23 January and featured International DJs across 3 stages in Centennial Parklands, headlined by Fatboy Slim with smaller events held in Brisbane and Perth. In 2017, the festival returned, this time headlined by Eric Prydz with events in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. In 2018, Fatboy Slim once again headlined with events in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and, for the first time, expanding to Adelaide and Auckland, New Zealand. In 2019, the festival returned to its home in Sydney, headlined by Sigma (DJs). On Saturday 22 February 2020, it once again returned to Sydney, headlined by Craig David, weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic would cancel events in the proceeding 3 years. After a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2024, the Electric Gardens brand returns to Sydney, with sister events in Melbourne and Perth, this time headlined by Armand Van Helden.

The Myspace Bus
