Dreamstate Australia has unveiled the official festival maps for its 2026 edition, giving trance fans their first detailed look at how the event will unfold across Sydney and Melbourne next February. The newly released layouts reveal stage positioning, amenities and crowd flow for both dates, as the Australian leg of Insomniac’s globally renowned trance brand prepares for its biggest return yet.
The Sydney edition will take place on 7th February, 2026 at Sydney Showground, followed by Melbourne on 8th February, 2026 at Flemington Racecourse. Both maps confirm the return of Dreamstate’s signature dual-stage setup, with the Dream Stage and The Void positioned to anchor the experience, supported by expansive bar areas, chill zones, merch, food vendors and clearly marked medical and crowd care services.
The release comes as anticipation continues to build around the 2026 lineup, which features an elite selection of trance, hard trance and techno crossover artists. Gareth Emery, Paul van Dyk, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Vini Vici, Bryan Kearney, Ben Hemsley and Factor B headline across the two shows, joined by Billy Gillies, Amy Wiles, Juliet Fox, Dyen, Lee Ann Roberts and Victor Ruiz.


With festival infrastructure now locked in, Dreamstate Australia 2026 is moving firmly into its final planning phase. The detailed maps offer attendees a clear preview of what to expect on the ground, as Sydney and Melbourne prepare for two nights dedicated to euphoric melodies, driving basslines and immersive trance culture.
