Accompanying the seminal daft robots is a line up that has been hand picked from Around The World (ha!)
• The Presets have notched up enough frequent flyer miles in the last couple of years to go with Richard Branson to the moon and back, but have not played on Australian soil for some time. These will be amongst their last shows before they unleash album No 2 on the world.
• SebastiAn and Kavinsky are from the Ed Banger stable of French producers currently tearing up dancefloors around the globe. SebastiAn has risen to notoriety through his ball-busting remixes of the likes of Cut Copy, Bloc Party, The Rapture and Kelis, while Kavinsky is the scene's man of mystery, with nary a photo to be seen and the excellent Teddy Boy and 1986 EP's to his name.
• Muscles has gone from a myspace phenomenon to a living breathing festival slaying one man band, with already-anthems Ice Cream and Sweaty in his canon converting fans all around the world. Fresh from supporting Soulwax in the UK and touring Europe, Muscles will hold it down solo.
• What more can be said about The Bang Gang DJ's that hasn't been sung already? The premier party DJ's, the hosts with the absolute most, the guys that put the why in party, Never Ever Land could simply not be imagined without The Bang Gang.
More lineup announcements shortly.
