Ministry of Sound Summer Dance Festival - Melbourne

Ministry of Sound Summer Dance Festival returns to the iconic Sidney Myer Music Bowl, with our biggest-ever Melbourne show! Due to overwhelming demand, the festival is expanding, transforming Sidney Myer Music Bowl into a multi-stage summer dance music playground with three unforgettable stages and an extended footprint into the gardens.

Headlined by CLASSICAL, performed live by the Ministry of Sound Orchestra, supported by global dance music icons Roger Sanchez (USA), Seb Fontaine (UK), Braxe + Falcon (FR), Utah Saints (UK), K-Klass (UK), DJ Paulette (UK), plus Australian favourites John Course, Minx, Sgt Slick, Anthony Pappa, Boogs, and a stacked lineup of local talent. This is a celebration of the greatest moments in dance music history and the artists who helped define our dancefloor; redefined, reworked and reimagined on a scale like never before.

The crowd-favourite Silent Disco returns, alongside the debut of the brand-new Golden Stage, delivering three distinct experiences across one massive festival destination. Expect curated bars, top-tier production, premium food offerings and unmissable festival moments as Australia’s favourite summer dance event returns bigger, bolder and more immersive than ever before.

Set within the lush surrounds of the Kings Domain Gardens, Sidney Myer Music Bowl is an iconic outdoor amphitheatre. With the Melbourne city skyline as your backdrop, this is the ultimate open-air dancefloor – soundtracked by the biggest dance anthems of all time.

This is your ultimate summer dance event.
