Australia’s electronic music scene is set for a huge shake-up with the arrival of Hypersonic, a brand-new multi-genre festival launching this summer. Produced by industry heavyweights Hardware Group and Symbiotic, the event promises a high-energy celebration of electronic sounds across multiple stages. Sydney Showground will host the first instalment on 29th November, 2025, followed by Melbourne Showgrounds on 30th November, 2025.

Hypersonic is the brainchild of the teams behind some of Australia’s most iconic dance events, including Stereosonic, Festival X, Dreamstate, Hyperdome, and Altitude. With such a pedigree, expectations are high for a world-class festival experience that will appeal to fans of trance, hardstyle, and other electronic subgenres. The festival is teasing a major lineup announcement, with organisers hinting that it will be the “multi-stage lineup drop of the year”.

For many Australian ravers, Hypersonic could feel like the closest thing to Stereosonic’s legendary days. While the exact artist roster remains under wraps, speculation is already running wild within the dance music community. The combination of Hardware Group and Symbiotic all but guarantees an internationally acclaimed selection of headliners alongside the best local talent.

With summer vibes, massive production, and a commitment to covering a broad spectrum of electronic genres, Hypersonic is shaping up to be a must-attend event for festival fans. Whether you’re a trance purist, a hardstyle devotee, or just eager to dance in the sun, this debut edition could be the standout highlight of Australia’s 2025 festival season.
