The celebrations kick off with a headline appearance from EDM giants Blasterjaxx, whose immense sets of pure energy have been the highlight of countless of the world's largest electronic music festivals over the past few years. Expect an onslaught of huge riffs, enormous build ups and drops that'd give you vertigo. Olly James, Jon Mancini, Calvin Logue and Div Eadie round off the support.

Will Sparks Friday 3rd March

For round two Colours call upon the selection skills of Melbourne electro house pioneer Will Sparks, who's enjoyed plenty of exposure to the limelight since breaking into the scene in 2012.

Collaborations with Joel Fletcher and famously Wiley have cemented his stature as a skilled beatmaker, but it's his live performances that have really propelled him into the stratosphere, with regular appearances at Tomorrowland, Stereosonic, TomorrowWorld and EDC cementing his status as a master of the big stage.
