Although the lineup for this year’s Stereosonic doesn’t drop until Wednesday, Diplo has revealed that Major Lazer will be the headlining act for this years run of festival dates.
In an interview with News LTD, Diplo announced he will be making his fifth appearence at the fesitval, alongside bandmates Jillionaire and Walshy Fire, following up his massive success in Australia with their latest record Peace Is The Mission, which features the #1 ARIA chart single, Lean On.
The man had some good words to say about Aussie music: “In Australia, we have had a bunch of pop records that have gone platinum there before anywhere else in the world,” he said. “Radio is national there, there’s no triple j in America. It takes months for a song to reach the top 10 in the US; in Australia, it takes two weeks. And your pop stations are more progressive in what they play.”
The full lineup will be announced this Wednesday. See the Stereosonic dates below and start hitting the gym:
Saturday 28 November – Sydney
Sunday 29 November – Perth
Saturday 5 December – Melbourne

Sunday 6 December – Brisbane
