The Godskitchen Boombox has been hyped up as a spectacular fusion of architecture, multimedia, visuals, and of course, pumping dance music, and from all the evidence we’ve witnessed with its stunning debut in the Ukraine early this year, the concept is everything that it’s cracked up to be. ITM can confirm the dates and the DJ lineup for when the Boombox will be making its maiden voyage to Australia later this year.
The Godskitchen Boombox Tour will be plugging in and firing up at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Sunday October 4th, and then the following weekend on Saturday October 10th at the Hisense Arena in Melbourne. We already knew that trance superstars Cosmic Gate would be headlining the tour, and ITM can now confirm that they’ll be joined by fellow veterans Blank & Jones, psytrance heavy John ‘00’ Fleming and it’ll also be the first ever Australian tour of JES who’s worked as a live vocalist for Tiesto.
Future Entertainment have shed a few more details to ITM on how the Boombox works; the massive rectangular structure houses state-of-the-art DJ equipment, acting as a giant screen from which a dazzling combination of lighting and visuals can be projected, and synchronized with the music. It’s the brainchild of the Parisian based design collective 1024, and at over 16 meters wide, 8 meters high and 6 meters deep, the structure is hyped as the ultimate marriage of architecture with art (made possible by a truckload of technology of course).

There’s no confirmation yet on whether the Godskitchen brand will be venturing to other cities during the tour, but with the lineup in the country over a two-week period, it’s a safe be to assume that we’ll at least get treated to a few club shows along the way. Stay tuned to ITM for details!
