Ministry Of Sound Summer Dance Festival returns to celebrate 35 years in 2026

After consecutive record-breaking attendances, Ministry of Sound Summer Dance Festival is set to celebrate 35 years by bringing its biggest festival experience yet to Australia.

Transforming parklands around the country into open-air dancefloors, the festival is set to have two major shows at Kings Park and Botanic Garden on Friday, December 11, and Sunday, December 13.

Headlined by Classical as performed by the Ministry of Sound Orchestra, the festival features a lineup of international DJs, including Roger Sanchez, Seb Fontaine, and Braxe & Falcon, alongside some of Australia’s favourite DJs.

Taking centre stage is the globally renowned Ministry of Sound Orchestra, led by award-winning conductor Vanessa Perica and backed by the legendary DJ Groove Terminator. 

Accompanying on stage is an all-star vocalist lineup featuring ARIA Award nominee Reigan along with Karina Chavez (Show Me Love), Rudy (TV Rock’s In The Air), Lady Lyric (Classical tour favourite) and Luke Antony (The Voice).

Across the two festival dates, attendees can expect a specially curated musical lineup across three stages, a silent disco and a brand-new VIP Deck Experience. Bespoke bars and food offerings are also available to attendees.
