Dance acts the future for festivals, says Zane Lowe, in Adelaide for Future Music Festival DJ Zane Lowe will appear at Future Music Festival, tomorrow in Adelaide. Picture: Stephen Harman Source: adelaidenow IT'S Zane Lowe's third-straight visit to the Future Music Festival today - but the affable DJ is quick to dismiss rumours that promoters keep forgetting to remove his name from the posters. "Imagine the poor guy who hated me the first year and thinks this is a cruel joke that keeps getting worse," he laughs. Maybe I'll finally convince him this year that I'm all right. "I hope so," he says on a more serious note. Because it feels like things really are building down in Australia and my home New Zealand. Zane says the tipping point to make it three years in a row was the addition of his mates, electronic dance music group The Prodigy, who will host a stage at this year's event. The crowd at Jessie J, at the Future Music Festival at Ellis Park last year. "I was in talks to do a third year and I didn't know if it would pan out," Zane explains. But then I went and did Warrior's Dance (The Prodigy's festival) and it's ridiculous what they do on stage - they're just so ferocious and never tire - so I couldn't say no to coming back with them. The man, who is in the know with festivals across Britain, says those moving towards dance acts, such as Future Music, will survive, while events such as the Big Day Out, and its crowd numbers, decline. "I really do think Future Music has the right balance to bring the kids in," he says. They've got a good balance between dance acts and bands and we're seeing that over ... in the UK. Bigger festivals like Reading and Leeds have really extended their dance line-ups. Zane Lowe performs today at the Future Music Festival, Bonython Park. Tickets through Ticketmaster.
