Hard dance fans can mark their calendars—HTID Australia is officially returning to Sydney Showground on Saturday 24th January, 2026. Produced by HSU Events, the annual event remains one of the most anticipated fixtures in the Australian hard dance calendar, bringing together international icons and homegrown favourites for a full-throttle night of hardcore, hardstyle and beyond.

Since launching in Australia, HTID has built a loyal following, with last year’s edition drawing a massive crowd to Sydney. The 2025 lineup featured Darren Styles, Gammer, Hixxy, S3rl, Sefa, Rooler, Angerfist and more, underscoring the event’s reputation for combining legendary acts with fresh talent. Fans can expect the 2026 edition to once again deliver a stacked roster of artists across multiple stages.
