EDM festival Stereosonic has supersized itself for 2013, expanding to a two day festival with completely different lineups on both days, including pretty much all of the biggest international dance music stars you can think of.

Think house, trance and synthpop names like David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Empire of the Sun, Above & Beyond and Afrojack, electro/bass music heads like The Bloody Beetroots, ShockOne, Krewella, Boys Noize and Dog Blood, drum’n’bass veteran Andy C, techno heads like Maceo Plex, Solomun and Claude VonStroke, and critical darlings like Justin Martin, Robert Delong and Cajmere, with more than 35 acts lined up on each day across the main stage and four arenas.

Trance lovers will be making beelines for Ferry Corsen’s Full On Arena to catch Ferry dropping high energy 15 minute back-to-back sets with all his guests, while fans of feeling your nostrils vibrate from the bass should make their way to the UKF Arena for an overdose of bass music. Record label Hot Creations have curated a very sexy arena packed with soulful, deep house and disco from the likes of Cajmere (Green Velvet), Jamie Jones and BrEACH, while the HARD stage has the likes of Destructo, Clockwork and What So Not.

The $199.95 ticket price gets you both days of raving, with pre-sale tickets for MyTicketmaster members from 9am from Monday July 27, general release 9am Thursday August 1 through Ticketmaster.
