It’s the announcement you’ve been waiting for! There’s been plenty of nervous hand wringing amongst clubbers this week with the Sydney leg of the Future Music Festival under threat of a proposed 6pm closure, but we can now breath a collective sigh of relief with the news that Randwick Council have given their approval for the festival to run until 10pm. To everyone who signed our petition, congrats on playing a part in saving the event! Capacity has been reduced from 35,000 down to 25,000, but Future Entertainment have confirmed the event is locked to go ahead at the venue.

It’s good news all round, as ITM can now confirm the first round lineup of artists who’ll be playing on the 2009 tour! Producer Pharrell Williams’ legendary rap/funk/rock act N.E.R.D were predicted as headliners, and it turns out they’ll be joined by a huge posse of amazing dance acts. Basement Jaxx are situated in the top tier of the world’s electronic live artists, right alongside last year’s spectacular headliners the Chemical Brothers, and in 2009 they’ll be joined on the bill by Brazilians CSS, as well as perhaps the biggest surprise of the lineup, French electro mainstay Etienne De Crecy, who’ll be bringing his legendary ‘cube’ show to Australia for the very first time! Together they form the strongest selection of live acts that have ever featured on a FMF lineup.

Joining the live acts will be a predictably solid array of international DJ talent that includes one of the original superstar DJs Paul Oakenfold, returning to Australia for the first time in quite a few years. Playing alongside ‘Oakey’ will be progressive trance favourites Markus Schulz and Christopher Lawrence, Swedish House Mafia bosses Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso – who we’re informed will play individual sets! – festival favourite Tocadisco, electro space invader Joachim Garraud and many more. Also on board for the 2009 tour, the Silent Disco will return to all dates nationwide!

ManubeCre

ManubeCre said on the 27th Nov, 2008

Whats with all the sydney festivals these days having awful line ups, its rediculous. Featuring some sell out hiphop act. These festivals have been taken over by poptards that just discovered pills.

benjiboo

benjiboo said on the 27th Nov, 2008

Boooooring. Apart from N*E*R*D and Oakenfold, all the other acts have been here the past 18 months. Typical though from Future, what more would we expect?

Cozza007

brenly

brenly said on the 27th Nov, 2008

honestly, anyone who thinks this is a shit lineup should be shot. i'm not even a fan of nerd, and i think basement jaxx have been a disappointment year after year that they playd in aus. to have a veteran (whether he can mix or not) like oakenfold playing

Spekman

Spekman said on the 27th Nov, 2008

tocadisco, garraud, angello and ingrosso (provided they dont be shit like at field day)... Basement Jaxx ... thats awesome for first round announcements...

Spekman

Spekman said on the 27th Nov, 2008

rex22

rex22 said on the 27th Nov, 2008

could have done better. as someone that's just come from working in ibiza this year, this line up smells commercial. not one credible dance act in sight.

Oakey is really the only highlight(in a nostalgic way), what ever happen to the tech, wheres the mnimal,! Are we all suppose to be commercial/trance lovers, and to think melbourne was the techno(tech) capital. How i would give for marco bailey or the lik

mikeylol

mikeylol said on the 27th Nov, 2008

Hopefully its not to expensive. Despite not really like SMH that much I think their sets are fucking good fun and would be great to dance to live. Not to mention Toca and Oizo, will be great :D

Etienne De Crecy, about time he came to Australia his shows are unreal. Joachim Garraud, this dude produced everyone from David Guetta to David Bowie. All round awesome line up, well done Future!!!!!!!!

Gspot

Gspot said on the 27th Nov, 2008

LOL Cheechvda!! You tell em :P I agree that this yrs lineup for the majority of the events...actually lemme rephrase, ALL the events have been pretty mediocre. But this ones not too bad! WOOO to Oakey, Schulz, Angello

Timmeronline

Timmeronline said on the 27th Nov, 2008

not impressed, is all I have to say (I bet Seb is!). The Hawtin rumor ruined it for me, I'm afraid. And having NERD and JAXX as Headliners is just a bit sad, really. Shouldn't they be playing at Surfers Paradise now?

brenly

brenly said on the 28th Nov, 2008

altho oakenfold is old and has been around for ages... he was one of the best in his day. he helped shape the industry. if you're saying this about him, you may as well bring up kraftwerk playing at global, even prodigy as they've been around for ages. it
