WHAT IS MODIFYRE?
Modifyre is an annual event and a year-round community dedicated to art, self-expression, and self-reliance. It is an immersive experience created by its participants – individuals and groups just like you – for the benefit of other participants. So it really is up to you.
Unlike many events, Modifyre is not created by a production company as a passive experience sold to consumers. To this end, there are no corporate sponsors, no stalls, no exchange of money, and NO SPECTATORS. There’s you, me, and our imaginations. There are also no prerequisites for participation in this experiment; anyone may be a part of Modifyre.
BURNING MAN
Modifyre is also the regional Burning Man event for Queensland and northern NSW. Currently one of three such regional events held annually in Australia, it is built around a core philosophy derived from that of the Burning Man festival, which takes place each year in the desert of northern Nevada. This philosophy is reflected in a series of key concepts that guide the event and the community.
We BUILD, we BURN, we BLOSSOM
Once a year we create a temporary village built on a gift economy, fuelled by communal effort, lit with radical thinking, and filled with participatory art, theme camps, performance, workshops, music and, of course, fire. At the heart of this village is The Bug, pollinating the seeds of our imagination. When the Bug burns these seeds are spread far and wide, helping creativity blossom wherever they land. When we leave, we dismantle and take the village with us, upholding our commitment to Leave No Trace wherever we go.

A temporary city dedicated to creativity and community, built entirely by YOU!
Let the expansive beauty of outback Queensland be a backdrop to your imagination. Inspired by the Burning Man festival and its regional network, Modifyre is the laid-back subtropical cousin of Burning Seed (NSW) and Blazing Swan (WA).
