Armin and Armand for We Love Sounds

The sun may be setting on the summer festival season, but that’s no reason to pout. Winter festivals are just around the corner! Leading the pack is We Love Sounds, and with the first round of announcements it’s promising to be bigger and better than 2008.

DJ Mag’s number one DJ Armin Van Buuren will play an ‘exclusive’ Sydney show at We Love Sounds. You can catch him performing an extended set in the special Armin Only Arena. US dance god Armand Van Helden is also returning to Oz for the first time since his sellout tour in 2007. We Love Sounds favourite James Zabiela will unleash his never-before-seen light show, and Laidback Luke will also be there.

We can expect at least another 45 techno, electro, house, and nu-disco acts to join them. Dates are still being confirmed but here’s one to mark in your diary: tickets go on sale on March 16.
