The festival promoters originally began working in Melbourne nightclubs [2] forming the company Totem OneLove, which was in turn purchased by SFX Entertainment in 2013.[3]
The 2009 event was the first to see all five cities host the event.[4]
The 2011 Stereosonic Sydney was the largest festival ever held in Australia.[citation needed] 60,000 people were in attendance with more than 50 people charged for drug possession offences.[5] The Public Order and Riot Squad were called in after patrons attacked police who were trying to break up fights and to assist with other crowd management issues.[5] That year Stereosonic also sold out in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.[6]
The 2012 Perth event attracted almost 31,000 people.[citation needed]
In 2013, Stereosonic expanded to a two-day festival format across all five cities, enabling more than 50 international artists and over 300 local emerging Australian acts to perform.[7] This was the first time an Australian festival, held on such a large scale across five cities, had been held on multi-days in densely populated cities. Calvin Harris, David Guetta and Armin van Buuren headlined the event, with the Sydney event streamed online to raise awareness for leading AIDS charity, (RED) on World AIDS Day.[8]
