Radical Redemption delivers The Journey experience from 9:15PM, before live acts Toza and Krowdexx perform their respective sets under the "We The Loudest" banner. The night closes with a highly anticipated face-off between Dimitri K and Lekkerfaces from 11:15PM until midnight, with MC D hosting throughout.

Alongside the set times, the newly released festival map reveals a well-equipped layout across Sydney Showground, featuring multiple bars, food vendors, water stations, phone charging points, chill-out zones, rides, a cloak room, merchandise stand, medical facilities, and clearly marked emergency exits. The DanceWize harm reduction service is also present on-site, reflecting the event's continued commitment to attendee wellbeing and safety.
