This
years Stereosonic sees a star-studded line-up with further additions to be announced
in the coming months. From Canadian mouse and all-round live festival favourite
Deadmau5, to Sweden's seminal hit machine Axwell, Stereosonic this year presents
its biggest lineup to date. Holland's Fedde Le Grand returns after a massive 40,000
people headline performance at Sensation to launch his new album 'Output' and
new show, whilst Axwell's fellow Swede John Dahlbäck finally makes it to
Australia after years of topping club charts with remixes and dancefloor anthems.
From Italy, the kings of modern dance-punk and nu-rave The Bloody Beetroots return
to Oz for a killer new show after a national sell-out 'Outrage' tour in June this
year. Touted as the new Justice, be prepared to witness the chaos, mayhem and
all-round madness that is taking Australia by storm. Fellow Ferrari fans The Crookers
return to Stereosonic for their second year running, showing the nation why they
are one of the buzz acts of 2009.
Miss Kittin & The Hacker who's new
album 'Two' has been already hailed a classic, hits Stereosonic for their first
live shows in years in Australia. Minimal master Marco Carola makes his eagerly
awaited return to Australia showcasing his amazing sounds and technical brilliance
that has made him a festival favourite the world over. France brings us wonderkid
Surkin, one of the youngest kids in the business whilst London's Chicane who's
massive hits 'Saltwater' and 'No Ordinary Morning' perform on the main-stage.
With a classic album 'Polyfolk Dance' on the UK's legendary electronic/indie label
Warp Records, Hudson Mohawke cuts it up and shows us exactly what all the fuss
is about...
German horror movie fan and electro wizard Zombie Nation presents
his latest material including delights from his already cult classic 'Zombielicious'
album that has been getting a hammering from the likes of Sven Vath, Luciano,
Richie Hawtin and more. For the first time in Australia Stereosonic is proud to
announce the performance of one of Germany's best exports: Alter Ego, that have
been making techno and electronic dancefloor monsters for almost 15 years and
who's live shows need to be seen to be believed. Slovenia's Umek joins the bill
whilst Stereosonic debuts Australian performances for buzz acts Drop The Lime
and Renaissance Man.
Juan Kidd who's current hit 'Now You're Gone' stormed
the charts recently showed he's a force to be reckoned with worldwide. Australia's
Cut Copy programs the band stage with supports from Tim Sweeney from the UKs cult
DFA outfit, Grafton Primary, the UK's uber group Kidda, Canyons, Knightlife and
Bag Raiders, with more to come. Los Angeles based celeb photographer-blogger The
Cobra Snake joins us for the second year running to document the event picture
stylee, Awesome.
Local onelove faves Grant Smilie, Acid Jacks and the loving
Andy Murphy return nationally to rock the socks for the locals, alongside further
acts to be revealed over the coming months, so stay tuned.
