The atmosphere was lively as visitors moved between the different experiences, while groups of friends and families made the most of the relaxed Sunday setting. As the sun went down, the energy shifted up a gear with international DJ R3HAB and an exciting line-up of local talent taking over the stage.
For the love of fast cars
One of the highlights of the festival was the impressive collection of supercars on display. Bringing together a selection of eye-catching machines, the showcase gave visitors the opportunity to get up close to some of the most exciting cars and admire their distinctive designs, details, and performance-inspired engineering.
From sleek silhouettes to carefully considered interiors and striking finishes, there was plenty for automotive enthusiasts to discover. The experience went beyond simply viewing the cars, with simulators also available for visitors to try.
Whether already familiar with virtual driving or stepping into a simulator for the first time, guests could put their skills to the test and enjoy an interactive driving experience. It added a playful element to the automotive showcase, giving visitors another way to engage with their passion for cars.
Alongside the automotive displays, games, and activities added another layer of entertainment, making the festival an engaging outing for both dedicated car enthusiasts and families looking for a fun day out.
Food to fuel the fun
After exploring the cars and trying the simulators, visitors could take a break and refuel at the food and beverage festival by Common Market. The selection brought together crowd-pleasing favourites and contemporary offerings, including ramen, pasta and rice bowls, alongside refreshing drinks such as matcha and lemonades.
With options for a hearty meal, a quick bite, or something refreshing to sip, the food and beverage area offered a relaxed setting for families and friends to sit back and enjoy the afternoon. It added another layer to the festival experience, giving visitors plenty of reason to linger between activities.
Music that kept the energy going
Music was woven into the festival from the start, with DJs keeping the atmosphere lively as visitors moved between the cars, games, food and activities. Local DJs including DJ Julian, DJ Perry K and DJ Smooth Brain Girly brought their own sounds to the day, adding a lively rhythm to the afternoon and giving guests plenty to enjoy between activities.
As evening arrived, the music shifted into after-party mode with a set by BLINK and international DJ and producer R3HAB. Taking over the stage as night set in, R3HAB brought his signature high-energy sound to XOX Arena, turning up the tempo and giving the crowd an exciting finale to the day.
With local DJs setting the mood throughout the day and R3HAB taking things up a notch in the evening, music became an integral part of the festival experience. By the time the evening drew to a close, XOX Arena had delivered a full day of supercars, simulators, games, food and music, with plenty happening across both halls.
Complimentary access made it easy for families, friends and car enthusiasts to drop in, explore and stay for as much of the experience as they wanted. It was a day that brought together cars, music, food and good company, with something to keep every kind of visitor entertained from afternoon through to night.
