Future Music Festival 2011!


Well! This should be something! Here, in all its glory, is the Future Music Festival making its way through Australia this March! All told, the lineup is absolutely solid. Here's where the Festival will be touching down in Oz, and when:


BRISBANE
SATURDAY, 5 MARCH 2011

PERTH
SUNDAY, 6 MARCH 2011

SYDNEY
SATURDAY, 12 MARCH 2011

MELBOURNE
SUNDAY, 13 MARCH 2011

ADELAIDE
MONDAY, 14 MARCH 2011

Fantastic! Looking forward to it. Now let's take a look at the lineup, shall we?

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS
PENDULUM
DIZZEE RASCAL
MGMT
MARK RONSON AND THE BUSINESS INTERNATIONAL
KE$HA
ART VS SCIENCE
THE PRESETS
LEFTFIELD
PLASTIKMAN
SVEN VATH
SANDER VAN DOOM
STEVE AOKI
LOCO DICE
ZANE LOWE
COSMIC GATE
JAMES HOLROYD
STEVE ANGELO
DON DIABLO
ETIENNE DE CRECY
...
and many, many more.

How awesome is that? I'm really looking forward to a few of these acts. Chemical Brothers, yes. Leftfield? Yes, please. Art Vs Science and The Presets (who are releasing their new album mid-2011)? Definitely. MGMT is always fun. Dizzee Rascal is going to be a hoot and a holler. Pendulum put on a terrifically intense live performance, so they'll certainly be worth checking out. But one of the nice things about festivals such as this is that it'll also be a day of discovery -- nothing beats stumbling upon a new band and totally digging it.

Anyway, from time to time during the next couple of months, I'll be returning to this lineup and sharing some of the music to expect at Flemington Race Course this autumn!

Cheers, boys and girls -- can't wait to catch up!
