Hardfloor Lead Rainbow Serpent Festival First Lineup Announce

A range of Rainbow first-timers join iconic acidheads Hardfloor at this year's festival.

And the first lineup of Victoria's Rainbow Serpent Festival 2013 has just been dropped, featuring a list of seven international electronic acts to whet the appetite.

This year, the festival is focusing on first-time and fresh acts, including French ambient composer and co-owner of Ultimae Records AES Dana (aka Vincent Villius), bringing his mesh of British Progressive and American Space Music to the mouth of the Serpent.

The lineup does still include some classic EDM artists with German acid supremos Hardfloor, Tel Aviv-based progressive trance outfit LISH and UK electro-house godfather Tim Healey.

 

Here's the full first announcement:

AES Dana (France), FM Radio Gods (Canada), Haltya (Finland), Hardfloor (Germany), LISH (Isreal), Tim Healey (UK) and Yotopia (Isreal).

The second lineup announcement is due to be released in the next week or two, stay tuned.

The festival will run from 24-28 January, providing attendees a range of cultural events in the beautiful natural environment of Lexton, Victoria.

Tickets are on sale, get to it.
