Cockatoo Island Festival was a music festival held on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour, over Easter of 2005, organised by Brandon Saul and Julie Howie of Mixed Industry and The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust. The 2005 Cockatoo Island Festival attracted over 20,000 people across the 3 days, with some choosing to camp on the island, others buying a 3-day pass and catching a dedicated ferry service each day and some buying a single day pass. While some of the island was off limits, many of the old buildings were used as stages, with the Turbine hall used as the main stage for the festival, a natural amphitheatre looking towards the Gladesville Bridge and a spectacular sunset and an old tunnel to host DJs. In addition to musical acts, there was also on offer a range of other features such as comedy acts, bingo and trivia, conspiracy theory talks and yoga.
