Ministry of Sound Summer Dance Festival
Sydney
Ministry of Sound Summer Dance Festival returns this December, with our biggest-ever Sydney show! In 2026, we take over a brand-new home at Sydney’s most iconic outdoor music destination, The Domain, with three stages and an expanded festival footprint, built for a full-blown day-to-night celebration.
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, Kid Kenobi, 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.
After back-to-back sold-out tours and record-breaking attendances, Ministry of Sound is celebrating 35 years as the global authority in dance music with its biggest Sydney experience to date.
Set within the Royal Botanic Gardens with the Sydney skyline as your backdrop, The Domain will transform into the ultimate open-air dancefloor, complete with three stages of music, top tier production, the return of the Silent Disco, curated bars, premium food offerings and the biggest dance anthems of all time.
Enhance your experience with our expanded VIP offering, featuring a multi-level viewing platform, specially curated food and beverage offerings, complimentary drinks on arrival and a private bar. Enjoy VIP express entry with dedicated hosts, premium amenities and exclusive facilities designed to refresh you for the dancefloor. Truly the best seat in the house! Premium Admission is also available, offering express entry, bars and bathrooms – leaving more time for those unmissable moments on the dancefloor!
This is your ultimate summer dance event.
