Amelie Lens first artist revealed for Babylon Festival 2019

Carl Cox and Hardware Group's dusty escape returns to the Australian bush in February

Amelie Lens is the first artist to be unveiled for the 2019 instalment of Carl Cox and Hardware Group's Babylon Festival in Australia.

The event teased a photo of the Belgian heavy-hitter from behind the decks, hands raised as she faces out towards the floor, on Instagram with the caption: "Some big artist announcements coming next week. First round line-up drops on August 8th."

Babylon hits the dusty plains of Carapooee West, near The Grampians mountain range, about three hours outside Melbourne, from February 14-17.

Last year, Laurent Garnier, Atish, Giorgia Angiuli, Dax J and Deborah De Luca played the techno and psy-centric event's second year.
