A field that’s rested gives a bountiful crop.
—Ovid
After 10 years of darkness, and in preparation for 10 more, Dark Mofo is pausing in 2024 for a period of renewal.
Since Dark Mofo’s inception back in 2013, the festival has felt the weight of shifting conditions and the burden of escalating costs. While 2023 left an indelible mark, it also exacted its toll, prompting the decision to pause, reflect and plan out a more sustainable future.
In its stead, two rituals will remain to guide us through the darkness in 2024—Winter Feast and Nude Solstice Swim.
We will return—whole and bountiful—in 2025.
From our dark heart to yours,
DM
