Something huge is about to hit Melbourne — and the electronic music scene is already buzzing. A brand-new multi-genre event called Hypersonic Melbourne 2025 is coming to Melbourne Showgrounds, and locals can’t believe the size of the lineup for a debut festival. With global giants like Armin van Buuren, Alesso, MaRLo, Steve Aoki, Adam Beyer, and blk. leading the charge, Melburnians are asking the same question:
How does a first-year festival launch this big, this fast?
That mystery alone has turned Hypersonic into Melbourne’s most talked-about upcoming event.
About Hypersonic Melbourne 2025
Hypersonic is a brand-new multi-genre music festival debuting at Melbourne Showgrounds. Bringing together EDM, trance, house, techno and hard techno, the event features global headliners including Armin van Buuren, Alesso, MaRLo, Steve Aoki, Adam Beyer and blk. With additional performances from Aaron Hibell, Andrew Rayel, Bart Skils, Charlie Sparks, Dimatik, KREAM, Sunset Bros and more, Hypersonic promises a high-energy festival experience guided by renowned MC Stretch. Expect massive production, euphoric anthems, dark warehouse techno and an unforgettable day of music and unity.
Melbourne hosts great festivals every year… but Hypersonic feels different. It’s not just another EDM event — it’s a full-scale multi-genre collision bringing together the biggest names in EDM, trance, house, techno, and hard techno, all under one massive Melbourne Showgrounds takeover.
- EDM
- Trance
- House
- Techno
- Hard Techno
All within a single mega-event designed specifically for Melbourne’s nightlife culture.
Why Melbourne? Why now?
Melbourne is known for:
- world-class nightlife,
- thriving warehouse rave culture,
- loyal trance and techno communities,
- and a festival crowd that always shows up.
Launching Hypersonic here first makes total sense — even if the lineup feels almost unbelievable.
Whatever the reason — Melbourne is about to benefit from it.
Hypersonic Melbourne Full Lineup (And Why It Feels Unreal)
It’s rare to see this many global icons on one debut festival lineup:
Headliners
- Armin van Buuren
- Alesso
- MaRLo
- Steve Aoki
- Adam Beyer
- blk.
Plus an insane supporting cast:
Aaron Hibell, Andrew Rayel, Bart Skils, Charlie Sparks, Dimatik, KREAM, Sunset Bros — with more expected.
And tying the chaos together?
MC Stretch, known for Tomorrowland and Stereosonic — another reason Melbourne is asking, “Where did Hypersonic even come from?”
Why Melbourne Can’t Stop Talking About Hypersonic
Here’s the real reason Melburnians are curious:
This festival seems designed specifically for Melbourne.
Think about it:
- Melbourne loves its techno
- Melbourne loves its trance
- Melbourne loves huge festival production
- Melbourne loves underground warehouse energy
Hypersonic is mixing all of that into one mega-event.
No other Australian festival is combining these genres in a single day. No other first-year festival is landing this scale of artists. And no other event is sparking this much anticipation before ticket sales even open.
People aren’t just excited — they’re wondering how big the first year will actually be.
