ULTRA confirms April 2027 dates for Melbourne, Gold Coast and Wellington
The festival will run across three cities on consecutive days from 16 April 2027, with Flemington Racecourse hosting ULTRA Australia and ULTRA Beach Gold Coast moving to Doug Jennings Park.
ULTRA has confirmed a three-day run across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand in April 2027, with new venues and expanded programming, Rolling Stone Australia reports.
ULTRA New Zealand opens the run in Wellington on Friday 16 April. ULTRA Australia follows in Melbourne on Saturday 17 April, and ULTRA Beach Gold Coast closes it on Sunday 18 April.
Tickets and presale timings
Presale registration is open for ULTRA Australia and ULTRA Beach Gold Coast. Presale tickets go on sale at 10am AEST on Thursday 5 November, and general sales open at 12pm AEST on Friday 6 November.
Registration is also open for ULTRA New Zealand, though its ticketing dates have not been announced.
Venues and the new RESISTANCE stage
Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne will host the eighth edition of ULTRA Australia. ULTRA Beach Gold Coast moves to Doug Jennings Park on the Spit in Main Beach.
The Gold Coast event will also gain a dedicated RESISTANCE stage for the first time. RESISTANCE is ULTRA Worldwide's house and techno brand, and the stage widens the festival's programming beyond its mainstage sound.
Past editions of the Australian festival have featured Afrojack, Alesso, Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, Timmy Trumpet and Zedd. Artist lineups for the 2027 Australian and New Zealand editions have not yet been announced.
New Zealand's debut year
ULTRA New Zealand will return to Wellington Waterfront after its first edition, held on 10 April this year. That event drew 23,320 attendees and sold out roughly three weeks after tickets went on sale. More than 30 international and local artists played across four stages, among them The Chainsmokers, DJ Snake, Zedd, Oliver Heldens and Australia's Alison Wonderland.
An independent evaluation cited by Rolling Stone Australia put the debut's net national economic benefit at $8.57 million, including $5.46 million in visitor spending across the Wellington region.
The three events belong to ULTRA Worldwide's international festival network, which spans six continents and includes its flagship Ultra Music Festival in Miami.
