The 2024 Festival marked the first official experiment of what had been until then only an informal aspect of the festival – artist residencies with the purpose of creating entirely new art. This time it was with the Dream Warriors, an indigenous hip-hop collective, who put together and recorded 5 new tracks in 5 days, a project that lives on to this day. The 2024 festival also saw the return of Authentic Light Orchestra and the first ever Lincoln Showcase performance, this time at Antelope Park.
