Austrian Elevate Festival Moves Forward

For the first time in its 12-year history, the Austria-based Elevate Festival in The Graz will take place in March instead of October.

The change gives Elevate new perspectives and allows for a better coordination with other events,” the promoters write. The festival’s program offers electronic music, as well as contemporary discourse.

Acts confirmed to play the 2017 edition include Juan Atkins, Mumdance, Logos, Paranoid London and Stephen O’Malley.

The discourse will be centered on big data, quantification and algorithms, asking the question of who actually makes decisions in the 21st century.
