Future's Supernova Of An Announcement

Future has been throwing us curve balls all week and they just won’t let up. From unveiling the rundowns of two of their stages, plus new singles and the lineup additions that’s almost to ridc to quit, but wait there’s more. There’s a new stage coming and it’s pretty bloody rad.

Forget your expectations about festival production. We've commissioned world-leading production designer James Klein to design a brand new, bespoke EDM stage for Future Music Festival that will defy expectations! The former Bondi talent (now based in the US) designed Miami's monster Ultra Music Main Stage for their 15^th anniversary last year, and has been commissioned to bring his high-level 3D computer design, state-of-the-art audio technology and mind-blowing lighting and visual effects to Future in a production that'll knock your socks off!

Not content to bring you over 200 Aussie artists already, now we're bringing you one of the hottest local stars of 2014 – a man who had the #9 highest selling single in Australia's pop charts last year. We're talking multi-platinum talent Timmy Trumpet! Ranked #2 DJ in Australia (inthemix), his massive track 'Freaks' has sold over 300,000 copies to date, and is currently on airwaves both here and abroad. Having recently returned from a 46 show tour of the US, Timmy's back at home and bringing his signature live trumpet-meets-EDM set to the main stage of Future.

Who else will be conquering the huge Future Music stage this summer? Perth-via-London legends Knife Party will perform their biggest shows in Australia to date, bringing their chart-topping debut album Abandon Ship direct to you. EDM heavyweight Afrojack – the sixth highest grossing artist in the USA in 2014, no less – will be there, banging out his debut album Forget The World. So will Dutch 18-year-old sensation Martin Garrix, who has been busy documenting his shows across the globe (watch them here). Add to that Dutch electro-house mastersBlasterjaxx; German Grammy nominee and 'Prayer in C' house producer Robin Schulz; the lads behind monster tune 'Crackin'', Bassjackers, as well as Aussie DJ on the rise Throttle, performing in all cities.

Future is still keeping the teases coming too, with more stage lineups to be announced but also two international acts that have yet to be announced. They’re treating us mean, but boy are they keeping us keen.
