The Arches will be where many of the live acts will be playing; it will be seeing the likes of Jon Hopkins, George Fitzgerald, Max Cooper and more.

The Stealth is an expansive, open-air stage which will be providing lots of room for the whole J2 crowd to dance. The stage will be seeing the likes of Four Tet, Amelie Lens, TSHA, Hessle Audio, Maceo Plex.

Meanwhile, The Observatory has a stretched canvas roof - something that will make the stage feel more intimate where revellers can feel as though they are one within an ecosystem. Expect to see Maribou State, Effy, Dixon, Chaos in the CBD, FJAAK DJ, and more.

Providing a sanctuary for those who want a more dark, underground experience; The Tunnel is a long rectangular corridor where attendees will have their sense of sight narrowed but their audio experience enhanced. This stage will host icons such as Peach, Blawan, Romy, Theo Nasa, Avalon Emerson, and Mount Kimbie.

Similarly, The Dome promises to close the sound in, making for a cosy listening experience where revellers can still let loose in dance. Here there will be Jossy Mitsu, Tasha and more.

The Speaker's Corner will be hosting artist-led discussions and events throughout the day, with each discussion delving into topics that are relevant to the contemporary music scene and issues that artists themselves are facing.

It’s safe to say that for this year’s festival we have gone beyond anything we have done before and our team is working around the clock to ensure it’s going to be a very special weekend.
