Check out the phase 1 lineup of the 4-day Lumen festival in Montreal (Updated)

The phase 1 lineup for the 2013 edition of the Lumen festival at the mega-venue New City Gas has been revealed. Just like last year, Lumen is 4-days long, and if the phase 1 lineup release is any indication, this will be a big-room electro party binge that will satisfy many that are looking for an in-your-face party in Montreal. Lumen starts on Thursday, December 26th with recent big room converts W&W, along with Hardwell favourite Dyro. On Friday, December 27th, New City Gas will play host to master DJ Laidback Luke who has the ability to electrify any crowd with his DJ skills. Joining the Dutch virtuoso will be headbanging Tommy Trash. On Saturday, December 28th, long time veteran Fedde Le Grand will serve headlining duties for the final night. If you like Dutch DJs, then Lumen's phase 1 lineup roll out should bring a huge smile to your face.

Update: Lumen has been extended a day to accommodate the rescheduled date for Eric Prydz at New City Gas. But expect a few curve balls thrown in as I'm sure there will be decent support for the Swedish producer on December 29th.

But you know what's the best part? You can buy a 4-day pass to see all 4 shows for only $65 right now. That averages out to only $16.25 per day, which gives fans great value for your dollar. To buy your Lumen tickets today, click here.

Remember that this is only the phase 1 lineup, as you can expect quite a few more DJs to be added for each night.

Coldharbour Night returns to Circus Afterhours in Montreal tonight!

There's another Coldharbour night coming to Montreal tonight and for those living in Montreal it should not be missed. Here's what happened the last time the guys from Coldharbour Recordings visited Montreal back in April:

​I was able to make a special trip over to Montreal to see this event and got there just in time to catch the second half of Grube & Hovsepian's progressive set.

​Arnej eased into his 4 hour set with some more popular Trance tunes like Gareth Emery's Concrete Angel.

​But after half an hour or so things got dark really quickly as Arnej started upping the BPMs by dropping a few tech trance bangers including one of my favourites of 2012 'True Lies'.

​Overall it was a great night, lots of dancing, and plenty of dark Trance beats to sustain me for a good long while.

​Tonight the guys from Coldharbour Recordings will be making a return to Circus Afterhours in Montreal with Trance producing superstar KhoMha​, Romanian Trance DJ/Producer Mr. Pit, and Montreal's own Project Offset. Tickets are $20.
