For some there is no better time of year than when your favourite event or festival rolls around. And what better way to experience it then by getting a group of people together and getting a campervan hire to enjoy the experience in.
Forget about pitching a tent and saying goodbye to the luxuries of home for those few days. A campervan will provide a "home away from home" and will be the perfect vehicle to return to after a long day in the sun, listening to your favourite bands and seeing those much anticipated shows.
An impressive line-up of festivals will grace the east coast of Australia this year, with many of them spanning several days. This makes a campervan rental the perfect accommodation option.
Some of this year's most anticipated events and festivals include:
Bluesfest
Pioneering the presentation of blues music in Australia, Byron Bay's Bluesfest also manages to incorporate surf culture, Latino music, African music, political and environmental message artists and features acts from all the world's continents.
Bluesfest is held every year over the Easter long weekend at the Tyagarah Tee Tree farm.
Splendour in the Grass
Considered the country's largest winter music festival, Splendour in the Grass is a 3-day event that boasts an impressive line-up of rock, hip hop, electronic and alternative music. Previously held in Byron Bay's Belongil Fields, Splendour draws a crowd of around 30,000 festival-goers.
