After thrilling EDM fans earlier this year with several festivals across the country, Electric Island returns in 2026 with an even bigger lineup, with tickets for all three dates on sale now via electricisland.com.au.
The beachside rave parties are taking over gorgeous locations in Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth across April 2026.
Next year’s edition of Electric Island is headlined by American electronic legend Armand Van Helden, who will turn the dancefloor into a mass of bodies at all three dates.
Local favourites Flight Facilities will drop bangers when they get behind the decks for a hit-filled DJ set, performing their hit tracks ‘Crave You’, ‘Clair de Lune’ and ‘Sunshine’, alongside remixes and dance hits from the biggest artists on the planet.
Melbourne and Perth audiences will be treated to a special set from internationally revered and Grammy-nominated dance collective Above & Beyond, performing tracks from their recently released album Bigger Than All Of Us, alongside club classics and deep cuts.
Expect more artists to be announced in the coming months, helping to make Electric Island one festival you don’t want to miss.
The Adelaide leg of Electric Island takes over Glenelg beach on Saturday 11 April, while the Melbourne and Perth events will be held across two days over the same weekend at Melbourne’s RIVA and Perth’s Cottesloe Beach on Saturday 18 April and Sunday 19 April.
