Vivid 2012 Line-up Announced

The line-up for Sydney's Vivid 2012 festival has just been announced. We've got a fairly attractive city as it is here in Sydney, but when Vivid rolls around it transforms into something truly spectacular. The festival of light will return this year from 25 May to 11 June, drenching the city in psychedelic light projections, meaty debates and some of the most exciting musical acts from Australia and around the world. Karen O, Florence + The Machine will be joined by The Temper Trap and Seekae. Goodgod will also host a party with its Danceteria, as will great local record label Future Classic. We're also excited for the Modular Night where Tom Vek, Jonathan Boulet and Kindness (!) will perform and FBI / Penny Drop's party which will see Zola Jesus, Light Asylum and Forces.

Here's the full line-up:

KAREN O IN 'STOP THE VIRGENS'/ FLORENCE + THE MACHINE / THE TEMPER TRAP / BRYCE DESSNER, NICO MUHLY, SUFJAN STEVENS / JANELLE MONAE & THE ARCHANDROID ORCHESTRA / AMON TOBIN LIVE BEYOND 3D 'ISAM' / EFTERKLANG & SYDNEY SYMPHONY / PVT / SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS / MY BRIGHTEST DIAMOND / SEEKAE / DANNY BROWN / MED / ELLESQUIRE / HALFWAY CROOKS DJS / ZOLA JESUS/ LIGHT ASYLUM / FORCES/ MODULAR / FUTURE CLASSIC / GOODGOD DANCETERIA / URBANSCREEN
