Australia's Babylon Festival announces 2018 line-up

Australia's Babylon Festival has announced the line-up for its second year after an inaugural bash in March.

Festival partner Carl Cox will be joined by Laurent Garnier in the French producer's first visit to the country since 2009, Derrick Carter, Robert Hood, Pan-Pot, Giorgia Angiuli, Dax J, Deborah De Luca, Agents of Time live and more.

A few months back it was announced the three-day camping festival would change weekends in the New Year, moving to February 23-25. Last year, the event went head-to-head with fellow scene debutant Pitch Music & Arts on the March Labour Day long weekend.

Babylon takes place at Carapooee West, Victoria, about three hours' drive northwest of Melbourne. Check out the first round line-up below. For tickets and more information, head here.
