Ultra Australia has dropped Phase One of its 2026 lineup, confirming headline sets from The Chainsmokers and DJ Snake as the electronic music festival returns to Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Saturday 11 April 2026. The two global dance acts will be joined by a mix of international and genre-spanning DJs and producers across both the Melbourne and Gold Coast events.
Alongside the headliners, the first wave of artists includes Darren Styles, MaRLo and Oliver Heldens, bringing a blend of trance, house and festival-ready electronic music to the dancefloor. Melbourne’s edition will feature a few extra names not appearing on the Gold Coast bill, with Miss Monique, Zedd and Nico Moreno added to the local lineup.
Ultra Australia 2026 marks the seventh time the festival has hit Australian soil, continuing its run as one of the country’s biggest dance music events. The following day, on Sunday 12 April, Ultra Beach will set up at Broadwater Parklands on the Gold Coast, featuring many of the same artists under the sun.
Tickets for both Melbourne and Gold Coast dates are on sale now via ultraaustralia.com. As with past editions, further lineup announcements are expected in coming months as organisers build towards the full festival experience, which typically includes multiple stages, immersive production and a party atmosphere that draws thousands of fans.
