What it is
More than a pass, a commitment
The Future Pass is a lifetime membership program built to enhance connections and foster innovation across the arts scene. It is not just another expense. It is designed to enrich the festival for everyone involved, from staff and volunteers to artists and attendees, and to put fairness and inclusion at the centre of how we choose and support artists.
For members
What you get
Member rewards
Discounts to Future Forest seasonal events, plus a Future Pass express lane for faster entry at the festival.
Apply and take part
A Future Pass is your way in. You need one to apply for Music, and to accept an offer in Visual Art, Art Installation, Workshop and Yoga, Performance Art, and WEX.
A digital membership ID
Future Pass 2.0 is fully digital. Save your Future Pass QR code to your account, so there is nothing to lose at the gate.
A safer community
Because every membership is tied to a verified identity, the Future Pass helps keep Future Forest a safer, more respectful community for everyone.
No more deposits
Digital IDs mean no volunteer deposits. They are now secured with a simple credit card hold instead.
Real accountability
Membership comes with responsibility. Privileges can be paused or revoked for misconduct, so everyone is held to the same standard.
For a fairer arts community
Built for artists
A big part of the Future Pass is making how we select and support artists fairer and more transparent.
A three-stage review
A thorough music application review in three separate stages, designed to keep selection fair.
Fair compensation
Fair pay for every selected artist, every time.
Reapply with a discount
Non-selected artists get a ticket discount and can reapply each year.
Less bias
A process built to reduce biased selection, so everyone gets a fair shot at participation.
Inclusion at the core
A real commitment to inclusivity, diversity, equality, and equity for artists.
Are you a minority artist?
We offer a complimentary Future Pass to minority artists, as part of our commitment to diversify and invigorate the arts community. Apply here.
