The Red Bull Music Academy stage will kick off onstage from 6pm each night, with a strong slant of DJs and unique electronic acts to get bodies moving. The list of local highlights includes Canyons, Holy Balm, Galapagoose, Zanzibar Chanel, SilentJay, Kano, Mitzi DJs, Octologic DJs, alongside internationally famed acts Onra, Rick Wilhite, James Pants, and Waajeed.
