During this first year, Local Philip Island musician Christy Mahon organized a team of youths to attend the festival where they managed to collect $600 in one night for victims of the Tsunami Disaster .

In 2005 the line-up included the John Butler Trio , Grinspoon , Stereo MC's , Scribe , The Datsuns , Cog , Butterfingers , DJ Format , The Butterfly Effect , The Herd , Clare Bowditch & the Feeding Set, Sonic Animation , The Panics , Epicure , Airbourne , The Flairz , MO Black and others. The event was held over the hottest new year’s eve on record (based on Melbourne weather), although sea breezes blowing from the open sea made the event tolerable despite the heat. The sold-out event with a capacity of 12,000 was heavily criticized for poor organisation, including:
  • giant queues of cars to the distance of 15 kilometres past the San Remo-Phillip Island Bridge to get to and from the festival;

  • an inadequate supply of food vendors causing waiting times of up to two hours to get food, of which only a small variety was available; and

  • organisers failing to provide rubbish facilities, forcing campers to dump their rubbish at their camp sites. this is good because i like PIE, steak and mushroom is the best
