The rave that sold 22,000 tickets last time around is back, and Dangerous Goods XXL has locked in Melbourne Showgrounds.
Dangerous Goods XXL returns to Melbourne on 27 June with the first seven of 15 headliners now confirmed for what’s shaping up to be the event’s largest local edition to date. SLVL, USH, OMAKS, Shortround, Miss Jade, Ish K and Blazy make up the opening wave, with nine more acts still to be announced.
The festival has landed at Melbourne Showgrounds in Ascot Vale for its seventh Melbourne outing, a step up in scale from its previous events. The last Dangerous Goods XXL in Melbourne moved all 22,000 of its allocated tickets, and organisers have flagged they’re expecting a similar result this time around.

@dangerousgoods_ent DG XXL is coming to … MELBOURNE SHOWGROUNDS 🔥 6000+ Early access tickets sold meant we can upgrade to this iconic venue with a capacity of 15k! With 3 undercover stages and 15 headliners, this is going to be nuts! Make sure you grab your ticket before it sells out! 😍
Early access allocations have already sold through, with general admission now sitting at $139.99 and VIP at $229.99. The VIP package includes a welcome drink, exclusive merch, a private bar, private bathrooms, dedicated VIP areas and line skip. There’s also a buy five get one free deal available for groups, alongside payment plans through the ticketing platform.
The lineup so far spans hard techno, industrial and psytrance, with the seven confirmed acts pulling from both international and local scenes. SLVL and USH are both Dutch producers who have built a reputation through appearances at some of Europe’s biggest hard techno events, while Paris-based OMAKS brings a reverse bass-driven sound that’s earned him spots on lineups across the continent. On the homegrown side, Shortround has been a mainstay of Melbourne’s rave circuit for over a decade, and Miss Jade, Ish K and Brazilian producer Blazy round out the psytrance contingent.
Prices are set to climb once the full lineup drops, so the current window is as cheap as it’s going to get. Given how quickly the previous Melbourne edition disappeared, the organisers’ suggestion to move fast isn’t exactly a stretch.
