The first line-up announcement for Ultra Australia 2019 has been revealed, with international superstars The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix and Marshmello confirmed to headline.

The festival returns to Australia in February, expanding to Sydney for the first time ever after an acclaimed 'Road To Ultra' in Melbourne earlier this year.

The Phase One Line-Up announcement is also accompanied by news that Ultra Australia is adding new stages, including the immersive, techno-heavy Resistance stage, headlined in 2019 by Adam Beyer.

“After watching the success of the event in Miami over the last 20 years and across the globe, it’s time we experienced this fantastic festival Down Under,” event organisers said.

Festival dancers Ultra Angels, host Damian Pinto and acclaimed DJ photographer RUKES will also make the trip.

Ultra Australia will take over Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne on February 23 and Parramatta Park, Sydney on February 24; check out theGuide for more details.
