For those who prefer the pulsating synths and drones of techno, jungle, and DnB over indie influences, AURA Music and Arts Festival promises to deliver with some of the fastest-growing EDM tastemakers joining this year’s stacked line-up.

This year's line-up boasts an impressive Phase 1 announcement, showcasing international talents such as techno icons BASSWELL from France, Germany's DAVID STRESSER, and Australia's NIK KASTEL.

The trance and psytrance line-up promises equally thrilling performances from artists like GROUND BASS, SIGHTER from Brazil, and New Zealand’s SHARKRA.

Brazilian trance artist Synthatic commented about the festival and said they will be making their live debut in Australia, among several other international favourites. Line-ups have also been announced for separate genres of house, DnB, and afrobeats, with more still to come. 

The festival, organized by Dangerous Goods Entertainment, will enter its second year in 2024.

This year’s edition will be held in Tallarook, Victoria, from Saturday, November 2nd, to Tuesday, November 5th, taking advantage of the Melbourne Cup long weekend. The festival offers a three-day pass with camping included or shorter single—or double-day passes for those wanting to dip their feet in on the action.
