The festival took place over four days in the Shires of Ashburton, Carnarvon and Exmouth to enhance the Total Solar Eclipse experience for visitors with existing bookings to these regions.
Music lovers weren't disappointed as Dark Sky Festival offered a three-day family friendly festival of live performances at SolFest in Talanjee Oval in Exmouth from 19 to 21 April, with local and Perth musicians.
As part of this special event, Pink Floyd celebrated it's 50th anniversary of their classic album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' coinciding a listening event with the solar eclipse. The band announced the listening event on April 20 on a remote peninsula off the coast of Western Australia to coincide with the Ningaloo Eclipse. The plan was to hit play on the album at 10:16:54 a.m. so the line “… but the sun is eclipsed by the moon” will sync exactly when the total solar eclipse happens.
