Stereosonic 2013

Stereosonic announces biggest-ever 2013 line-up

The usual hype and rumours that accompanies the Stereosonic line-up announcement has only been amplified in 2013. At the kick-off of this summer, the festival is upsizing in a major way, expanding to two days around the country. Along with the change in format, Stereosonic promised “the greatest EDM line-up Australian has ever seen”, and now comes the time to marvel at their roll-call of talent. As expected, it’s huge.

The epic tour is headed by three of the biggest mainstage DJs on the circuit. After galvanising sets in 2011, trance don Armin van Buuren will be back on the Stereo stage, alongside dance music’s chief hit-makers, Calvin Harris and David Guetta. The triple-bill is just the beginning.

Also on board is a powerhouse group of A-listers, all coincidentally starting with ‘A’: Above & Beyond, Axwell, Afrojack and Alesso. Following the success of new album Ice On The Dune, Empire Of The Sun will be back with the full live show, and stars of Stereosonics-past like Zedd and Sebastian Ingrosso are also on mainstage duties. Then there’s Empire Of The Sun, anthem-specialists W&W, homecoming hero Tommy Trash, and the list continues.

Beyond the top-tier, this is a line-up that keeps you scrolling. For the return of the HARD stage, Stereosonic has secured an act that blew up Coachella this year: Dog Blood, the rave-ready alliance between Skrillex and Boys Noize. Expect their sets together to be some of the rowdiest this summer.

For the trance and big-room fans, there’s two dedicated arenas in 2013. Kabuki returns with headliners Giuseppe Ottaviani and Heatbeat, while Dutch high-flyer Ferry Corsten presents his own Full On arena with Showtek in live mode, a ‘versus’ set from Aly & Fila and John O’Callaghan, production prodigy Andrew Rayel and more.

This Stereo line-up also ticks off the house and techno wish-lists. The dedicated Hot Creations stage is headlined by the full live show of Lee Foss and Jamie Jones team-up Hot Natured, while at long last, both Maceo Plex and Solomun are booked for the summer trek. New this year is a UKF arena for bass heads, featuring Andy C and an all-star cast. So to sum up the specialist arenas: HARD, UKF, Full On Ferry and Hot Creations. It’s going to be a scorcher.

It’s time to get scrolling this two-day spectacular now. Thursday August 1st, tickets go on sale from Ticketmaster.

Who's going?

Im 50/50. The whole 2 day thing puts me off

I really hate festivals, im going to quote the famous bLaQDoG..

Hours and hours of standing, dehydrated, malnourished, overcharged for poor service, pissing in portaloos like we're in prison camps, stinking like sweat, getting butt fukd from behind in a crowd, dealing with a cheesy house set to "suit the crowd". It's a mission

But these are the acts id want to see if I went

Above & Beyond
Aly & Fila b2b John O'Callaghan
Andrew Rayel
Armin Van Buuren
Bryan Kearney
Ferry Corsten
Gareth Emery
Giuseppe Ottaviani (Live)
Heatbeat
Jochen Miller
MaRLo
Mat Zo
Solarstone
Tritonal

ones in bold i havnt seen live before

 

[Mr Beast]

Potentially going, and potentially going to Melbourne as well.

The line up is sick some really old school DJ appearing.

I went to Stereo in 2011 and that was by far the best festival I've ever been too straight!

I agree with 2011. Pretty much had everything.

Last year I thought it was bad, bloody Sydney showground squashed everybody in with barely any room to move and your face is in someones armpit :-\.

 

[Moe]

Last was awesome if you were a trance fan.

All the douches were at the main stage. I saw Dash earlier in the day, then stayed at the trance stage which was half empty and saw Orjan, Aly&Fila and Markus Schulz.

Hardstyles

This is what I love, and can't stop loving
Get wasted at parties, from 9 'till 7 in the morning
I live for the music, rolling blunts, feeling high, getting loaded or take some pills and go to La La Land
Spending all my money on dope and extreme high priced tickets
But in the end it's all worth it
I like to live in my own world
**** regular life, **** a 9 to 5 job
I'm told to enjoy every moment, every hour, every minute
That's what I do on Fridays and Saturday
Why should I take life so seriously?
I just wanna do what I like to do
Being far from reality, cause I can't stand society
This is my own world, I just wanna hear the music

I think the whole system f**king sucks
Everybody's working their f**king ass off during the week
Getting totally f**king stressed out
So what's wrong, and what's right?
I live for the weekend, I live for hard styles, I live for hardstyle baby!

Yeh a lot of people have been complaing at lack of techno and house artists. Very trance dominated.

 

[Harby]

150% I'm going. Armin, A&B, Heatbeat, W&W, Ferry Corsten, and not to mention the tonne of other trance artists. Should be good!

Good luck getting them all in!

I want to see Jachan Miller. Closest thing to Rank 1 that you can get!

 

[Moe]

Apparantly Aly & Fila b2b John O'Callaghan is a verses set. That would be worth seeing. imagine the remixes theyd be pumping out

 

[pillow]

Just in time for a cycle

 

[HITM3N]

Feenixpawl! Hecktic. Hell yeah im going, this will be my first time going. Went to Tomorrowland last year and it went off :drum:

 

[Mr Invisible]

Wasn't this the festival the other year where that infamous picture of that gronk female taking a piss did the social media rounds?

Anyway, a solid lineu but I probably won't go. Didn't pay ~$200 for a Soundwave ticket this year, so wouldn't pay the same for a Stereosonic ticket (although a 2 day event is far more reasonable value).

If I did go though, I'd be going to see:
Afrojack
Alesso
Armin Van Buuren
Calvin Harris
Drummsound & Basslinesmith
Nicky Romero
Stafford Brothers
Will Sparks

then fill the day out with others.

 

[Özil]

TThough Steve Aoki would be performing this year? Shame Avicii isn't on...

But for me:

Afrojack
Alesso
Aly & Fila b2b John O'Callaghan
Armin Van Buuren
Axwell
Bingo Players
Boys Noize
Calvin Harris
Claude VonStroke
Clockwork
Ferry Corsten
Flight Facilities

I wonder how many of these artists will be back for Ultra next year.

 

[Natboy]

Not my kind of festival but what an awesome lineup!!

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Trancesonic. Rayel!
