HSU has officially announced the first act for EPIK 2026, and it is an enormous one. Project One, the iconic hard dance collaboration between Wildstylez and Headhunterz, has been confirmed for the event, marking the duo's long-awaited Australian debut. For fans who have waited years to see this pairing perform on home soil, the announcement is nothing short of a milestone moment for the local hard dance community.

EPIK 2026 takes place on Saturday, 12th December, 2026 at Sydney Showground, running from 4:00pm through to midnight. HSU has billed the event as a world premiere production, promising a level of visual spectacle and stage design that surpasses anything previously staged in Southern Hemisphere hard dance history. Given EPIK's established reputation as the most ambitious production of the annual calendar, expectations are already sky-high.

Tickets are tiered across several release stages, beginning with an HSU Presale at $189.00 plus booking fee, available from 12:00pm on Thursday, 13th August, 2026. General public sales open the following day at 12:00pm on Friday, 14th August, 2026. HSU strongly urges fans to register in advance, as every HSU festival to date has sold out within hours of going on sale.

With Project One confirmed as the opening lineup announcement, anticipation for what else HSU has in store for EPIK 2026 is already building rapidly across the global hard dance scene. If this first reveal is any indication of the calibre of acts to come, December cannot arrive soon enough for Australian fans.
