Earlier this week Future Entertainment announced arena shows for US live hip hop icons N*E*R*D in Sydney and Melbourne for early March, 2009. Now the window of dates for the Future Music Festival’s 2009 tour has been confirmed, and it certainly adds grist to the rumour mill that N*E*R*D will feature on the bill.

In addition, it’s also believed French house producer Lifelike will make the journey down under for the festival in 2009, and the rumour mill has gone into overdrive on the ITM forums and beyond, with Faithless, the Swedish House Mafia (aka Axwell, Steven Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso), Tocadisco and Joachim Garraud also suggested. The first round announcement is expected early next week, so to get the full lowdown remember to keep a close watch over ITM’s news section.

The Future Music Festival is highly regarded amongst the inthemix community, winning the Best Event category in Adelaide and Perth at this year’s inthemix50 awards, and always proving to be a hot topic of conversation across the site. In 2009 the tour will once again visit Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, this time between February 28th and March 9th.

Can’t wait for FMF 2009? Relive the madness of this year’s tour with ITM’s photo galleries:

so is future gonna give us the same mess they gave us this year. oversold tickets? trance djs being forced to play electrohouse sets? crappy drink card system? jamming our mobile signals?

i believe faithless EASILY beat the swedish house mafia in any contest here. angello can't mix, ingrosso can't produce anything decent, and faithless are one of those epic long awaited industry defining groups who will provide the future music festival w

I can think of about a million better things to do with $150 after last years festival and Godskitchen was bordering on a joke. Future Music events are rubbish.

Angello and Ingrosso were crap at the last field day, really boring cheese… they were just standing there going track for track playn somink off a ministry of sound annual disc. Don’t get me wrong I saw em do a 5 hr set the year before and it was magi

Rob Flaye said on the 30th Oct, 2008

I vote for a change of venue too, quietest festival ever, I remember people shouting at Evil Nine and him pointing at the sound engineers and shaking his head.Faithless I doubt but Swedish house mafia would be great!

So Pissed off Deadmau5 isnt at Future. Means I gotta head interstate. And with Fatboy at Good Vibes, future needs a couple of big drawcards. Saw Faithless at Global in UK- best shit ever. Everyone check out no1 track on beatport at mom. EDDING 850-Format

NERD sounds awesome. FMF 08 had the sickest line up, all my fav djs. I hope they can top it this year.

beats

beats said on the 6th Nov, 2008

Having a primary headliner that is well known amongst a mainstream audience always wrecks a large festival because you get an influx of ice-head bogans who suddenly decide that the ticket price is worth it. Each FMF has been worse than the one preceding i
