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.
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.
