Earthcore Global Carnival Early Birds ON SALE NOW!

The countdown is on again for the annual Earthcore Global Carnival, Friday 24th to Sunday 26th November at Undera in northern Victoria! A three day summer extravaganza of music, dancing, performances, art, local designer and food markets and much more. A place where love, new friendships and creative inspiration blossom! An alternative music and lifestyle celebration outdoors in the beautiful Australian bush landscape, the way mother nature intended!

Headlining the Victorian Carnival will be the legendary Peter Hook of New Order fame with a DJ set. New Order were part of the burgeoning Manchester scene (See Factory Records, The Hacienda and the movie 24 Hour Party People) which emerged in the late early '80s, and became the birthplace of dance music and acid house in the UK along with bands like Joy Division and the Happy Mondays. With the resurgance of electro, '80s sounds and new wave over the last few years, this is the sound that so many bands of today are trying to emulate. Playing a mix of Madchester, indie and breaks, we can only hope Hook will throw in some New Order hits such as Blue Monday and Bizarre Love Triangle. Kiddies come taste a piece of history right here on your doorstep, and fans of New Order you will not be disappointed.

Alongside this legend, Earthcore showcases some of the acts that are pushing the psy-trance movement to a global phenomenon. You asked for it, you got it! Earthcore brings you the welcome return of Israeli rock/trance wizards Skazi bringing their live rocking trance show to Australia yet again, blurring the lines between stadium rock and psychedelic sounds. Also, joining them, from the BNE stable, Oforia and Fatali.

Also heading down under, Eskimo (live) from pioneering UK psy-trance label Phantasm and and deep hypnotic house star MoShic direct from Isreal.

Denmark's prestigious Iboga Records also gives us an installment with DJ Emok (Phoney Orphants) and Phoney Orphants (live) who rocked the main floor at Earthcore last year, plus New Zealand progressive trance outfits Antix (live) and Freq (live).

On the chill tip, Earthcore brings you Shulman and Gaudi (Interchill) who feature on the new 'Earthcore Global Carnival' CD.

From France, live trance duo Sirius Isness (Max Peterson & Davina Elmosnino) from Mind Control Records and long standing trance/techno DJ Xavier Morel.

After sellout shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, Earthcore heavyweights, Tsuyoshi Suzuki (Japan) and Tip World posse Raja Ram (Shpongle/1200Mics), DJ Lucas and Tristan (live) return for their encore performance, to take you to new planes of heightened pleasure.

The Earthcore Global Carnival Victoria will feature this all star line up across six massive stages, returning for the third year in a row the Circus Beserkus Band Tent, the heart and soul of Earthcore, the long-running Hydra Trance Arena, the Temple of the Aztecs Monster Mainfloor with wicked laser shows, Sunny's tech/electro and dirty beats Market Stage, the VIP Club 333 area with free food, drinks, comfy couches and the opportunity to mingle with the festival talent, plus all the usual madness inducing installations, lightshows, deranged performances, local designer and food markets, camping facilities, workshops and fresh air all on 500 acres of prime land.

If you only go to one event this year, then make it the Earthcore Global Carnival - because when the festival's over and your sneakers are a bit worse for wear, you know you're gonna spend the next two weeks scraping dirt out from underneath your fingernails and catching up on sleep lost, you will still have all the happy memories, isnpired musical inspiration and maybe a bit of tan to take home with you!
