Electric Gardens Festival has today announced a triumphant return to Perth on Saturday 19 January 2019.
Courtesy of T1000 events, 10,000 revellers will able to experience the very best local and international electronic music artists as part of a world-class production at an all-new venue – Belvoir Parklands.
Leading the charge is Underworld, recognised as one of the greatest live acts of all-time, Karl Hyde and Rick Smith will be banging out their repertoire of goose-bump inducing anthems including ‘Born Slippy’, ‘Two Months Off’ and ‘Always Loved a Film’. No strangers to headlining the world’s greatest festivals and events, their contribution to the music industry is unparalleled having been handpicked by Danny Boyle to soundtrack the biggest festival of all – the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony.
Karl Hyde, Underworld comments: “The energy Down Under is second to none, we’re excited about our return and we’ll be taking everyone on a journey at each and every one of the shows.”
Following his electrifying 2016 Electric Gardens performance, Erick Morillo, the platinum-selling artist and Subliminal Records head-honcho will be back with a bang in 2019. Igniting the party wherever he goes, the superstar DJ will be showing Australia exactly why he’s still top of the game after more than 20 years in the biz, bringing the glitz and glamour of Miami, Ibiza and beyond to our shores.
With tracks ‘I Like To Move It, ‘Believe’, and ‘I Feel Love’ under his belt, the mix meister extraordinaire has remixed everyone from Whitney Houston to Basement Jaxx and has collaborated with Puff Daddy, Jamie Jones and Boy George alike.
The technical wizard, Eats Everything will be rounding off the bill of international heavyweights hitting all four garden venues. The UK’s finest house and techno export will be taking centre stage for a festival set like no other. Having played the likes of Coachella, Awakenings Festival and Movement in Detroit, the seasoned Ibiza resident will be pumping out the house, disco and techno feels which have made him a firm favourite of the Elrow family the world over.
