CHANGE CITY :
After months of rumours and speculation that’s seen some of dance music’s most revered names thrown around as possibilities, we can finally reveal the lineup of artists we’ll be seeing at the Future Music Festival in Sydney and Melbourne next year!
At the top of the bill is The Chemical Brothers, who’ll be bringing their spectacular live show back to Australia. We already knew they’d be in the country in March for solo shows in Sydney and Melbourne, so there was heavy speculation HERE they’d also be making an appearance on the Future Music Festival tour. Partygoers can now look forward to seeing their spectacular new live show that was debuted at Glastonbury earlier this year.
Next in line is none other than John Digweed. While some will be upset he won’t be joined by his DJ cohort Sasha as was speculated HERE, he’ll be touring off the back of what’s been a massively successful 12 months for the veteran DJ. He released the third installment of his Transitions series of CDs to critical acclaim and he’s been whipping music fans into a frenzy over a special ‘Warehouse Project’ live set that’s been circulating around the web, recorded in Sheffield earlier this year (check out the forum discussion HERE).
Germany’s Sven Vath will be returning to Australia for the first time in four years, and it was only two weeks ago that ITM revealed HERE that both Eddie Halliwell and Marcus Schultz were hotly tipped for the festival, along with house music’s hottest Roger Sanchez. The latter will be joined by rising Dutch DJ/producer Laidback Luke, who recently starred alongside Sanchez on mixing duties for the Afterdark Volume 3 compilation (check out the ITM review HERE).
Beyond the big names, there’s more variety than ever before on this year’s Future Music Festival lineup. Tech-funk’s finest Elite Force will be present along with Baile funk DJ/producer Diplo, American MC Aesop Rock will be representing the hip hop alongside Kid Koala and DJ Yoda, while names like Robbie Rivera and Mark Knight will ensure that house fans are more than satisfied.

For people complaining about lack of Trance at least Future offers some unlike Fuzzy, which offers close to nothing, and hey the lineup is nothing to be annoyed by either Markus Schulz, Eddie Halliwell and John Digweed are all fantastic Trance DJs!
Oli Fernandez says...
Now this is a line-up, not the pissweak one that Summafield Dayze has, it's comparable to what the what Summerfields did in 2006 and Future this year. Awesome Whats the location??? River stage with big tents around the Botanical Gardens would be good!

Just wondering if anyone could tell me if there will be a general release of VIP tix that aren't for ITM VIP only?? I think they would be handy to have after last year especially for the music bowl! Either way I think it will be a rocker... AESOP ROCK is pretty awesome.
