Australia is getting a cool new electronic music festival.
Brought to the country by creative pioneers Novel, A3 is described as an “electronic music, design, and art haven” that will be held over three days in Victoria’s West Gippsland Region (75 minutes from Melbourne) from Friday, November 29th-Monday, December 2nd.
According to a press release, the new festival will offer “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.” (Which is a convoluted way of saying there’s going to be a lot happening at the inaugural A3.)

An in-depth program of visual and electronic artists has been assembled for the festival including Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, Patrick Topping, Team Rolfes, and Bad Boombox.
