Twenty six international acts line up for the We Love Sounds Festival in Sydney this June.
If you’ve been tearing out your hair at some of the frankly woeful lineups on the recent Aussie festival calendar, We Love Sounds could be the festival for you. It’s well programmed and quite varied: On the bill are crowdpleasers such as Dubfire, Steve Lawler and Derrick Carter, but there also some unlikelier choices: Marc Houle and Gaiser from Minus, Davide Squillace from Circoloco, and top German acts such as Modeselektor, Ellen Allien and Stephan Bodzin. This year there is also an emphasis on live acts: Lindstrom, baile funkers Bonde Do Role, French houser Cassius are on the bill, while dance rockers are also well catered for with !!!, The Whip and The Bravery amongst others heading to Sydney.
For the Sydney fest, the venue is also a little more intimate than usual, a nice bonus, with the downside that it’ll be that little more difficult to secure tickets, which go on sale today. The early bird gets the worm.
We Love Sounds also heads to Melbourne and Brisbane the same weekend--expect a similar lineup to rotate through the cities. We'll update the events as the lineups come in.
Jun 7 – We Love Sounds, TBA, Melbourne
Jun 8 – We Love Sounds, Forum & Entertainment Quarter, Sydney
Jun 9 – We Love Sounds, TBA, Brisbane
