Mar 19, 12:42pm Dancing Astronaut

While Ultra Weekend 1 live sets have been trickling out left and right, only a handful of artists have taken the time to upload their sets themselves. Followving  Kaskade's  giveaway of his  Main Stage set , Porter Robinson, Hardwell, and Nicky Romero, have uploaded their own hour long performances from the behemoth stage. While Kaskade's was notable for its inclusion of original music and seamless mashups, Porter Robinson's mix excels in its breakneck pace, Hardwell delivers one of the best sets of weekend 1, and Nicky Romero pulls out a few IDs to keep [...]

REVIEW: Field Day Festival 2013

Jan 10, 5:00pm Purple Sneakers

Gloriously, but blistering heat and a slew of incredible artists and music populated Sydney’s The Domain on new years day for FIELD DAY , proving once again why it is the premium Sydney music festival. As a location for Field Day The Domain is pretty perfect for the festival, not only do all four stages comfortably fit in the area, but there are also huge areas of grass, tress proving shade and lots and lots of room for lots and lots of bars.

The Thrash Hits Podcast 014: Download Festival 2013 and other stories

Sep 21, 2012, 9:11am Thrash Hits

Well, Download Festival has announced their first two headline acts for 2013 - not that we knew that when we recorded episode 14 of the Thrash Hits podcast. Hugh and Tom sta down a mere two hours after Iron Maiden were confirmed (and a whole 14 hours before Rammstein were "officially" confirmed) to talk about the first major festival announcements for 2013, as well as a bit of not-so-idle speculation as to the identity of the as-yet-unnamed third Main Stage headliner. And then because they'd had a couple of beers, they took some time to debate why certain trends and [...]

In addition to those  sweet as you like  on-stage photos of Cancer Bats' Main Stage triumph we showed you last weekend , our man Gobinder Jhitta took a shedload of photos at this year's Leeds Festival. We basically gave him free rein to go shoot whatever and whoever he wanted, and he didn't let us down - pretty much every band we ranted and/or raved about in our post-Reading & Leeds Festival podcast is featured in his gallery, which you can check out after the jump.

Cancer Bats might have missed their chance to pop their Main Stage cherry at Download Festival 2012 (cheers for that, British weather), but Leeds Festival 2012 was a different story. In front of the joint-biggest crowd of their career (tied with Leeds' sister-festival, Reading, of course), Liam Cormier and co. smashed it . Lucky for us, our man Gobinder Jhitta was on hand to document their victory with his camera - and he did so from onstage. We've got another gallery of Leeds Festival [...]

Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires - Main Stage (Sasquatch! 2012; May 26)

Jun 1, 2012, 2:47am melophobe

Sasquatch! Saturday got off to a gut-wrenchingly good start, with a beautiful performance by Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires . Before Bradley took the stage, his band opened up with a short instrumental solo, then one of the members stepped up to the mic and growled, “Are you ready for the Screamin’ Eagle of Soooooul?” Bradley sashayed out and barely hesitated before launching into the somber “Heartaches and Pain,” a track dedicated to his brother, murdered years before. The devastating loss of his brother is one of many painful occurrences in Bradley’s life, [...]

Behind the scenes of the Ultra Main Stage visuals, powered by VSquared Labs

Apr 2, 2012, 2:53pm Dancing Astronaut

The UMF Main Stage has always made a statement, but this year's array of LEDs, lights, and lasers was something you had to see in person to fully grasp. The gargantuan structure took over one week to build by a "small army" of workers, last year's stage pales in comparison to the all-encompassing offering that was put together this year. The screens are only one half of the story, however, since they would be nothing without visuals to splay across all of them. [...]

Tommy Trash at Ultra 2012: photos, tracks, and a whole lot of hair

Mar 23, 2012, 6:31pm Dancing Astronaut

After navigating our way into Bayfront Park and over to Ultra's Main Stage - there are eight stages, so getting around is a workout - we were a little weary by the time Tommy Trash was set to begin spinning. But then we heard the familiar synths of TT's "Ladi Dadi" remix and all of our stress was gone. The Aussie is notoriously energetic in his live performances, and was at his best this afternoon. Click past the break for a review of his set, and the massive Main Stage. [...]

Ultra Music Festival 2012 main stage revealed?

Mar 20, 2012, 9:55am Dancing Astronaut

This photo of what could be the Ultra 2012 main stage just popped up on our Facebook news feed, and we thought we'd share it with you. The mobile uploader believes it's the main stage — and given the presence of an AV tent in the middle of the space and what could be the raised #TaoGroupVIP area along the water, we just might have to agree. While the stage area looks on the small side, we're told this photo was taken from the 42nd floor of a building across the street and is zoomed in quite a [...]
