Time: 12pm - 10pm
The fifth annual We Love Sounds winter festival returns to Sydney, boasting both its largest and most diverse lineup to date. We Love Sounds continues to set the standard in offering leading edge international acts from around the world, alongside a rich mix of Australia's best bands and DJs.
Featuring a mighty 26 international acts in total (half of which are making their Australian debut), rarely does an Australian festival offer so many new acts to discover on the one day. Not only does We Love Sounds pride itself in holding a torch to both the established heroes such as Dubfire (of Deep Dish fame), Cassius (France's original electro act) and Mix Master Mike (Beastie Boys) but it also makes a point of actively introducing and championing hot new talent.
Acts such as The Whip (hot of the heels of a European tour with Simeon Mobile Disco), Hans Peter Lindstrom (the nordic space disco producer who's inspired acts such as LCD Sound System) and Bonde Do Role (Brazil pioneers of the Baile funk sound now boasting a new and improved four person xpose!) are finally reaching our shores with much anticipation.
This year's festival covers a refreshingly wide array of musical styles over nine arenas, including indie, electro, house, baltimore, hip hop, baile funk, techno, progressive, minimal, Nordic space disco and much much more.
Nestled alongside We Love's unique electronic lineups comes the exciting announcement of two amazing US bands. !!! (Chk Chk Chk) who have cemented their reputation as one of the most electric live shows on the global festival circuit, and The Bravery, an act who regularly sits alongside artists including The Killers, Arctic Monkeys and The Arcade Fire.
As with 2007, We Love Sounds winter festival has a very limited capacity (half that of most of the other festivals) and last year's event sold out almost a month in advance. First release tickets are on sale this Friday 4 April at 9am from Ticketek so first in best dressed.
