The story

Ultra Australia in Melbourne

Ultra Australia brings the international Ultra Music Festival brand to Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne each April, with large-scale international dance and electronic acts across multiple stages. Launched in 2019, it has grown into a major fixture of Australia's electronic music calendar, with editions also staged on the Gold Coast as the brand expands. Expect dense crowds, heavy production, and a two-day autumn weekend of DJ sets.

By late afternoon at Flemington Racecourse, the field is already humming: sunglasses, small bags, dust underfoot, and a low electronic throb felt in the ribs before it is fully heard.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

Ultra Australia's connection to the globally recognised Ultra Music Festival brand, known internationally for its flagship Miami event, gives the Melbourne edition a production scale and international headliner access that few local Australian dance festivals can match

The mystery stays covered

Staged at the historic Flemington Racecourse, the event combines a well-known Melbourne landmark with imported large-festival stagecraft, lighting, and sound design

The city starts moving

Its April timing places it at the tail end of Melbourne's autumn, giving the two-day weekend a distinct seasonal character compared to Australia's mostly summer dance festival calendar, while its expansion to Gold Coast editions in some years reflects the brand's growing footprint across the country
