Hardstyle Carnival has confirmed its return for 2026, with the next edition of the high-octane hard dance event set for Friday, 23rd January at Nissan Arena in Brisbane. Produced by Shokk Events, the move to a larger venue signals a bold new chapter for the festival, which has grown steadily as one of Australia’s key showcases for hardstyle, rawstyle and hardcore music.

The 2025 edition took place at the SuperOrdinary Warehouse in Hamilton and featured a loaded bill of international and local acts including Angerfist, Rooler, Audiofreq, Wasted Penguinz, Bigmoo, and Avox. While the event didn’t sell out, it was praised by fans for its energy, production, and community-driven vibe—cementing its place in the national hard dance calendar.

Shokk Events is now doubling down with an ambitious 2026 upgrade. The Nissan Arena location allows for expanded production, bigger crowds, and an elevated experience. Fans can expect the same relentless BPMs and genre-spanning line-up that made previous editions so memorable, along with a few surprises to kick the year off in true rave fashion.

Line-up and ticket details for Hardstyle Carnival 2026 are expected in the coming months. With the new venue locked in and a loyal crowd behind it, the festival is set to deliver one of the heaviest dance nights of the summer.
