Ten artists to see at Strawberry Fields
These acts will keep euphoria levels high long after the dust has settled
It's not all spiders and snakes deep in the Australian bush. Head to The Wildlands at the right time of year and you'll stumble across some of the best house and techno the world has to offer among the tree branches and dust.
For seven years, that's exactly what Strawberry Fields has been serving up to a pop-up community of ravers somewhere between Sydney and Melbourne in late November. Funktion One soundsystems, cutting-edge art installations and stage designs, an untamed natural environment and, of course, seriously good music have made this festival a must at the beginning of Australian summer.
To make sure you get the most out of your Strawberry Fields experience this year, we've put together a list of artists bound to leave you in a long-lasting state of euphoria as you make your unwelcome journey back to civilisation.
András
One of Melbourne's most exciting producers, András has a signature sound distinctly his own. Last year's 'Café Romantica' LP with Oscar Key Sung as András & Oscar was one of our favourite Australian releases. Laidback house for sun-drenched afternoons, kick back with a cold beer at this one.
Bicep
The Belfast lads need no introduction and are sure to whip the main stage into a frenzy of flexing muscles at some point over the three days with their extensive catalogue of house stompers and wide-ranging library of records. This one's a must.
