CHECK OUT THE STAGE SCHEDULE FOR SYDNEY HERE AND BRISBANE HERE. PERTH AND ADELAIDE COMING SHORTLY

After several months of white-knuckle anticipation, the 2011 Future Music Festival is almost upon us. With the festival’s star attractions getting ready to pack their bags for the national tour, punters also need to get their affairs in order for maximum festival-going goodness and today we have the first look at the lineups for each stage at the festival.

While we’re still some time away from getting complete set-times, the just released lineups for each stage should give dance diehards an indication of what to expect at each arena whether it be The Chemical Brothers assuming pole position on the main stage with other heavies like Dizzee Rascal, The Presets and the festival’s electro-pop wildcard Ke$ha, or the beloved lineup for The Likes of You with legends like Leftfield, Sven Vath and Richie Hawtin’s Plastikman Live leading the way.

As we told you earlier this week, the trance stage will fall under Sander Van Doorn’s control, with the DJ and producer running his very Dusk Til Doorn setup with Binary Finary and Cosmic Gate along for the ride.

It’s also worth casting an eye towards Mazda 2 Flamingo stage which features a whole mesh of acts including MGMT, Steve Angello, Tame Impala and Pendulum. That’s enough talk from us now, check out the full stage lineups for Future Music Festival below.
