After announcing “phase one” of this year’s line-up, ULTRA Australia – held in Melbourne – and ULTRA Beach Gold Coast have revealed their final acts performing this year.

In December, phase one of the line-up was unveiled in a pre-Christmas gift to Aussie EDM fans. Featuring The Chainsmokers, DJ Snake, Darren Styles, MaRLo, Nico Moreno, and Oliver Heldens at both events, Zedd and Miss Monique will appear exclusively at the Melbourne event.

Now, it’s been announced that multi-platinum superstar artist Alesso will exclusively headline the Gold Coast event, marking his sole Australian performance in 2026.

For its third annual edition, ULTRA Beach Gold Coast will expand from a single-stage format to a two-stage set-up for the first time.

The ULTRA team has also shared that, for the first time, the Melbourne leg will introduce a second RESISTANCE Stage and boost its house and techno programming.

Support acts and additional acts, including Dimatik, KAAZE, HI-LO, and many others, have just been added ahead of ULTRA’s return this April. You can check out the line-ups for both events below.

ULTRA Australia will take place at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Saturday, 11 April. The following day, ULTRA Beach Gold Coast will welcome fans at the Broadwater Parklands. Limited tickets for both events are available now via the ULTRA website.

With over 40,000 punters attending the events in previous years, ULTRA is one of the most beloved events on the Australian EDM calendar.

ULTRA Australia was voted the 88th EDM festival in the world in DJ Mag’s readers’ poll last year—its parent, ULTRA US, made it all the way to #2, beaten to the top spot by Belgium’s Tomorrowland. It was Australia’s second-highest entry on the list, with Beyond The Valley narrowly beating it at #82.
