Despite the dubious profitability of Australian touring festivals, the 2015 edition of Stereosonic looks to be a massive for the books. The music festival’s organizers have just revealed its star-studded lineup, and there’s something for everybody in this grab bag of world-renowned headliners.
Heading the bill for Stereo stage at festival tour are Armin Van Buuren, Axwell /\ Ingrosso and Oliver Heldens. The Atlantis stage will feature trance heavyweights like Gareth Emery, Andrew Rayel and Andrew Bayer, and house/techno favorites like Dirtybird’s Claude VonStroke and Shiba San will play a stage dubbed “The Woods.” Gracing the Beatport stage will be bass music aficionados like Carnage and Snails, and everyone from Major Lazer to Tchami to DJ Snake will make appearances at the Sonic stage.
Citing low ticket sales and high operational costs, the organizers of another Australian festival tour, Future Music Festival, announced that the festival would not continue into 2016 earlier in the year. As Stereosonic follows a very similar format, it will be interesting to see whether their festival will continue after this year or if it’s doomed to follow suit.
Below are the official dates and cities of the Stereosonic music festival tours, along with the official lineup. Check it out and tell us, does the selection of talent make you want to check out one of the dates?
