MELTDOWN FESTIVAL is officially returning to Sydney in 2026, with organisers confirming the highly anticipated second edition will take place on 25th January, 2026 at Sydney Showground. Following a massive debut earlier this year, the hard dance event will once again bring the heat with an electrifying experience fans won't want to miss.

The festival is a collaboration between BPM Events and TSU Events, who launched the inaugural MELTDOWN FESTIVAL in January 2025. That debut edition drew thousands of ravers from across the country, offering a night of relentless energy and genre-pushing sets. It quickly established itself as a new staple on Australia's heavy dance music calendar.

The 2025 lineup featured international powerhouses like Angerfist, Clara Cuve, Creeds, Oguz, and Mad Dog, alongside local favourites including Restricted and Nyco. With such a strong foundation and an overwhelmingly positive crowd response, expectations are high for what 2026 has in store.

Organisers have promised to build on the legacy of the first edition, teasing “the next chapter” and inviting fans to return for another pulse-pounding celebration. Lineup details, ticket sales, and additional event info are expected to follow soon.
