Stereosonic was an annual electronic dance music festival held in Australia in November and early December. Stereosonic was held in Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne, attracting attendances of up to 200,000 patrons nationally featuring the biggest electronic artists in the world.
Stereosonic was a collaboration of two major Australia promoters Totem Industries and Onelove Music Group. In 2010 Totem Industries and Onelove Music Group created Totem Onelove Group, Australia's leading electronic music companies. In 2013 Totem Onelove Group was acquired by U.S. based global electronic music company SFX Entertainment of New York.
As of 2012, it was regarded as Australia's fastest growing music festival.[1] In 2016 however, the event was cancelled with the promise that it would return "bigger and better".[2] The festival did not return in 2017, and no announcements have been made regarding its revival for 2018 or beyond.
Onelove Music Group announced new event – Festival X.[3] It was planned for 2018, but did not happen: "Due to unforeseen last-minute changes in artist availability, the partners involved in Festival X have agreed not to proceed with the 2018 event. We set out to deliver the very best experience and the compromises to the proposed line-up did not meet the vision that we have for FestivalX. More news will follow on our future plans for FestivalX – stay tuned to the website and Facebook page for more information". No event was planned in 2019.
