Industry leaders and creative pioneers, Novel, announce the next Australian cultural destination, A3. Cultivating an electronic music, design and art haven, the festival will be carefully curated over three days just 75 minutes from Melbourne, in Victoria’s West Gippsland Region. An in-depth program of visual artists, architecture and electronic music awaits, including Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, X CLUB., Patrick Topping, Bad Boombox, HE.SHE.THEY, Team Rolfes, and many more, from Friday, November 29 – Monday, December 2, 2024.

A3 offers three days of carefully fractious and rewarding programming as a conduit to open artistic expression, cross-cultural collaboration and boundless connection. At both its centre and its periphery, a series of innovations across aural, visual and spatial disciplines culminate – all as vital to the festival, as music itself.

Novel are Australia’s premier organisers within the dance music landscape. With over 15 years of music industry experience, they have worked alongside the most established electronic music artists and imprints in the world, connecting them to the Australasian territory. Novel have developed and created iconic electronic celebrations that mark the festival calendar, including starting and running Pitch Music & Arts for 4 years, Let Them Eat Cake, smalltown, B3, Days Like This and many more.

At the helm of the lineup is Amelie Lens, the stratospheric club-driven producer hailing from Belgium. Taking the world by storm since her beloved debut EP on Italian Lyase Recordings, Amelie hastens thumping techno baselines, sharp percussion and lo-fi melodies to draw the listener deeper into the night. Her catalogue has landed her on the world’s biggest stages, from Tomorrowland to Ultra Music Festival.

Adam Beyer also joins the lineup, the Swedish techno DJ/producer and Drumcode label boss, is recognised as one of the few techno pioneers who has remained at the top of his game since the 90s. Join him as he weaves three decades of electronic experience into a sensory tapestry, creating an unwavering, tantalising party experience.

The festival is adorned with techno heavy hitters, featuring mind-altering grooves delivered by Dutch tastemaker Chris Stussy, who expresses his delicate understanding of early house and raw production, defined by his signature style of deep grooves with soulful melodies. Find Ukrainian techno wonder Etapp Kyle under this same umbrella, granting an eclectic set of trademark experimental beats and thumping baselines.

Also joining the lineup is the electric Âme, distinguished Berlin club conductor fka.m4a, as well as a takeover from iconic inclusive international house and techno series HE.SHE.THEY., Vladimir Dubyshkin will unleash his beloved style of entrancing beats and hypnotic sharp vocals, while Naarm local Bella Claxton’s highly energetic sounds will be on full display as she ventures beyond genre boundaries.

Berlin’s distinguished clubbing sensation, Bad Boombox, will also be joining the lineup. With a dedicated following and known for his electrifying onstage presence, he has captivated audiences worldwide, solidifying his status as a celebrated figure and powerhouse in the techno scene today.
