VOLUNTEERING

Volunteering at a Vibestown event is a fun and rewarding way to experience a music & arts festival. Share your skills, meet new people, get a behind-the-scenes look at the event, as well as listen to some amazing music.

Work for 6-6.5 hours over the two-day festival and we’ll give you a free ticket and limited edition t-shirt in exchange for your time and dedication. We have a range of roles available including ticketing, bartending, sustainability + more.

BARS

Positioned in one of the festival bars, volunteers will be serving drinks, processing drink sales and helping re-stock the bar floor. Most of these positions require an RSA, however we do have some bar back positions not requiring an RSA.

TICKETING

These volunteers will be helping with duties such as scanning tickets and allocating the correct wristband (based on ID checks). Some volunteers will also be needed to process ticket sales in the box office, and answer ticket enquiries.

SUSTAINABILITY

We have various roles available as part of the Green Team.Most of these shifts will be a shift in the morning so you can enjoy the rest of the festival (some may be in the arvo!). Volunteers will be sorting rubbish in our waste station before it heads off for recycling, or supporting the cleaning crew.

OTHER

There are a limited number of miscellaneous positions available such as Info booth, bump in, merch and more. Let us know in your application if you are interested in a career in events and looking for a foot in the door.
