If there was any ever slight doubt whether Electronic Dance Music was alive and progressing, Stereosonic 2015 debunked each and every doubter.
Held over two weekends in five cities, the 2015 edition of the multi-award winning music festival continued to create an incredible experience for party goers, with breathtaking production complementing the world class line-up, where artists such as Armin van Buuren, Andrew Bayer, Mark Sherry, MaRLo, Andrew Rayel and more incredible acts performed across the festival’s stages.
With the amount of A-list talent on the Atlantis Arena, we had the stage covered on social media, from the audience to the spectacular production and everywhere in between.
Anjuna heroes, Andrew Bayer and Jason Ross, left the Atlantis crowd speechless, Gareth Emery returned to the stage, taking over the arena in Sydney with this Electric For Life radio show and trance maestro Mark Sherry lived up to the hype!
MaRLo’s energetic set did not disappoint, demonstrating exactly why he’s now a leading force in today’s scene. Andrew Rayel played a whole array of songs, delighting the entire Rayel Family and vocal trance queen Emma Hewitt set the Atlantis Arena alight, performing hits including “Be Your Sound”, “Disarm Yourself”, “Going Home”, “Waiting”, just to name a few.
And it weren’t only the International acts that made the day as memorable as it was, but also the local acts who set the tone for the day with their incredible warm up sets.
Aussie trance merchandise now on sale here.
The Atlantis concept was first introduced in June, with the brand touring across Australia with the legendary Paul van Dyk, Driftmoon, MaRLo, Mark Sixma and Roxanne Emery, gathering thousands from across the country to celebrate the genre that we all love, Trance.
Atlantis has definitely left an impact, its success owed equally to a genre-spanning lineup jam-packed with so much talent and spectacular pyrotechnic and light show displays!
In 2016, Totem Trance will induct pioneering artists from all corners of the globe in next year’s Atlantis 2016 tour lineup; one of which is a world premiere – Ferry Corsten presents Gouryella.
MaRLo, Aly & Fila, Orjan Nilsen, David Gravell and Giuseppe Ottaviani have also been confirmed to join the impressive lineup, and for the first time in Australia, Giuseppe will perform his brand new Live 2.0 show concept! The Live 2.0 concept is an evolution of his previous ‘Live 1.0’ performance concept wherein he recreated his original productions using live instruments onstage.
Atlantis 2016 will be a tour greater than ever before.
