This year's Stereosonic sees a star-studded line-up with further additions to be announced in the coming months. From Canadian mouse and all-round live festival favourite Deadmau5, to Sweden's seminal hit machine Axwell, Stereosonic this year presents its biggest lineup to date. Holland's Fedde Le Grand returns after a massive 40,000 people headline performance at Sensation to launch his new album ‘Output’ and new show, whilst Axwell's fellow Swede John Dahlbäck finally makes it to Australia after years of topping club charts with remixes and dancefloor anthems. From Italy, the kings of modern dance-punk and nu-rave The Bloody Beetroots return to Oz for a killer new show after a national sell-out ‘Outrage’ tour in June this year. Touted as the new Justice, be prepared to witness the chaos, mayhem and all-round madness that is taking Australia by storm. Fellow Ferrari fans The Crookers return to Stereosonic for their second year running, showing the nation why they are one of the buzz acts of 2009.

Miss Kittin & The Hacker who’s new album ‘Two’ has been already hailed a classic, hits Stereosonic for their first live shows in years in Australia. Minimal master Marco Carola makes his eagerly awaited return to Australia showcasing his amazing sounds and technical brilliance that has made him a festival favourite the world over. France brings us wonderkid Surkin, one of the youngest kids in the business whilst London's Chicane who's massive hits ‘Saltwater’ and ‘No Ordinary Morning’ perform on the main-stage. With a classic album ‘Polyfolk Dance’ on the UK's legendary electronic/indie label Warp Records, Hudson Mohawke cuts it up and shows us exactly what all the fuss is about...

German horror movie fan and electro wizard Zombie Nation presents his latest material including delights from his already cult classic ‘Zombielicious’ album that has been getting a hammering from the likes of Sven Vath, Luciano, Richie Hawtin and more. For the first time in Australia Stereosonic is proud to announce the performance of one of Germany’s best exports: Alter Ego, that have been making techno and electronic dancefloor monsters for almost 15 years and who's live shows need to be seen to be believed. Slovenia's Umek joins the bill whilst Stereosonic debuts Australian performances for buzz acts Drop The Lime and Renaissance Man.

Juan Kidd aka Jason Herd who’s current hit ‘Now You’re Gone’ stormed the charts recently showed he's a force to be reckoned with worldwide. Australia’s Cut Copy programs the band stage with supports from Tim Sweeney from the UK's cult DFA outfit, Grafton Primary, the UK's uber group Kidda, Canyons, Knightlife and Bag Raiders, with more to come. Los Angeles based celeb photographer-blogger The Cobra Snake joins us for the second year running to document the event picture stylee - Awesome.

Local onelove faves Grant Smillie, Acid Jacks and the loving Andy Murphy return nationally to rock the socks for the locals, alongside further acts to be revealed over the coming months, so stay tuned.
