Pitch Music & Arts is a techno, house and drum and bass camping festival in Moyston, at the foot of the Grampians in Victoria.

The crowd is all about the music, and the fashion follows: dark, functional and made for dancing at the front of the stage.

Here's what to wear to Pitch, how to pack for days in the Grampians, and the sunglasses that suit a techno crowd.

The Pitch look

Black mesh top, utility shorts or cargos, boots and a gloss-black wrap like MAVRO.

Grey or khaki technical layers with a smoke-grey prism wrap like FRACTURZ.

Reflective jacket and a chrome shield like STROBZ for the late sets.

Sunglasses for a techno camping festival

Days at Pitch are long, bright and dusty. A wraparound frame with UV400 lenses protects your eyes and stays put while you dance, and a darker lens tones down the midday glare. Pack a spare for camp.
