Future Music Festival Melbourne 2013 – Timetable, Map And Transport Information

Hey Melbourne, it’s a public holiday tomorrow, which means that you have permission to go absolutely ape, if you wish, at the Future Music Festival at Flemington Racecourse today!

Tens of thousands of punters will be heading along to today’s extravaganza, which contains one of the most diversely impressive line-ups in the festival’s history.

Provided he got through yesterday’s leg in Sydney OK following his health issues last week, Avicii will be primed and ready to go as the EDM headliner.

The Stone Roses and The Prodigy will be slayin’ the stage towards the end of the night, while Dizzee Rascal, Bloc Party, hometown heroes The Temper Trap, and Fun. are sure to be drawcards as well. And, everyone will be going mental (the horses may just nod their heads from the stables away from the track as well) when PSY pumps out Gangnam Style during his half hour set in the late afternoon.

Music Feeds has put together all the info you need to make sure you get to the festival safely and have a killer day out. The timetable and map are at the bottom of the page, while public transport info is located right below that. For all other questions, hit up the Melbourne page on the Future Music Festival’s official website.
