Calvin Harris in Perth, 2010
Stereosonic is an annual music festival held in Australia in November and early December. Stereosonic is held in Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne. Stereosonic is a collaboration of two major Australia promoters, Hardware and Onelove corporations, and presents a mix of electronic and dance culture music. It is considered to be Australia's fastest growing music festival.[1]
The festival promoters originally began working in Melbourne nightclubs [2] forming the company Totem One Love, which was in turn purchased by SFX Entertainment in 2013.[3] The 2013 festival director was Richie McNeill.[4]
In 2013, the format of the festival shifted from a single day event to a two day festival.
The 2009 event was the first to see all five cities host the event.[5]
