Meltdown Festival will return to Sydney Showground on 25th January, 2026 for its second edition, once again bringing an unrelenting lineup of hard techno, raw sounds, and genre-pushing intensity. Presented by BPM Events and TSU Events, the one-day festival is quickly solidifying itself as a must-attend for lovers of the underground’s heaviest sounds.

Leading this year’s lineup is masked hardcore icon Angerfist, who is set to deliver a rare Hard Techno Set especially for the Sydney crowd. He’s joined by Mad Dog performing a unique down tempo show, as well as high-energy sets from Stan Christ, Fantasm, Luciid, and Klofama. With support from local and emerging favourites including Ornella, Kam, Winson, TØDV and more, Meltdown is once again curating a program that showcases the global scope and sonic diversity of the harder styles.

Following a successful debut in 2025, Meltdown Festival has quickly become one of the standout fixtures on Australia’s summer rave calendar. Known for its industrial-scale production and no-compromise curation, it promises an atmosphere where BPMs soar and the crowd moves as one.

Presale tickets go live at 12:00pm AEST on Friday, 26th September. Fans are encouraged to register early to access the lowest-priced release before they’re gone. With anticipation already building, Meltdown Festival 2026 is shaping up to be another heavy-hitting chapter in Sydney’s rave story.
