The concept of POX-ECLIPSE originated from the desire to provide a platform for like-minded individuals to come together and celebrate their shared love for creative freedom. Drawing influence from renowned events such as Wasteland Weekend, the producers aimed to establish an immersive space where attendees could engage in a post-apocalyptic-themed extravaganza, paying homage to Australia's rich history in the genre.

Attendees at POX-ECLIPSE have the opportunity to register as a 'clan' when attending in groups of four or more, allowing them to set up camp within the festival's 'township' walls. Clans enhance the overall experience by creating interactive activities and experiences that align with the post-apocalyptic theme of the event. Participants can also bring their Mad Max-themed vehicles to join in various activities or camp within the festival's Black Thumb quarter.
