A major music festival has announced its line up, with an iconic star set to return to Australia for the first time in five years.

Iconic music festival Listen Out has unveiled its line up for 2023, delighting fans with the announcement that one massive DJ will return down under.

The festival, which returns to Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney in September, has scored a bevy of international stars including Ice Spice, JPEGMAFIA and Lil Uzi Vert.

The biggest name and headline act, however, will be American DJ Skrillex, who will return to Australia for the first time since his last Listen Out appearance in 2018.

American DJ Skrillex will headline the festival.

The iconic EDM producer has been on a music festival tour since releasing a new album earlier this year, having linked up with fellow techno stars Four Tet and Fred Again.

Aussie talent will be showcased by local heroes Mallrat, Young Franco and HANDSOME.

More artists are yet to be announced, including a triple j Unearthed spot that is reserved for an emerging artist in each city.

The festival’s smaller sister event, Listen In, will return to Adelaide and Auckland with a condensed line up that still features Ice Spice, Lil Uzi Vert and Skrillex.

Tickets to the festival, which spans the last two Friday and Saturday nights of September, can be picked up from May 18.
