Dangerous Goods Entertainment launches 6XXL Festival in Footscray Park featuring Boris Brejcha and 34 other artists.
Footscray Park will transform into Melbourne’s newest electronic music destination next January (2026), and it’s already sold 14,000 tickets before the lineup dropped today.
Founded by Mitchell Lyman and Alex Schmidt, Dangerous Goods Entertainment is launching 6XXL Festival, a large-scale immersive experience headlined by German techno artist Boris Brejcha alongside 34 other international and local acts.
Co-founder Mitchell Lyman describes the festival as an intentional journey through sound, with each stage offering a different musical experience designed to create euphoria through carefully curated programming. The event marks a significant milestone for Dangerous Goods Entertainment, which began during Melbourne’s lockdown with 100-person seated events, Cocktails and Techno.

6XXL Festival will accommodate 25,000 attendees across four purpose-built stages at Footscray Park, each designed by Vision Impossible Netherlands, who go big. The main stage features a white and gold palace design with a giant lion’s head, complete with pyrotechnics and light projections. Additional stages include a 360-degree setup and a jungle-themed environment with projection mapping and forest visuals.
International acts joining Boris Brejcha include Pretty Pink, Nik Kastel and Moritz Hofbauer from Germany and Europe. Local heavyweights Timmy Trumpet, Will Sparks and Miss Jade lead the Australian contingent, joined by Jayden Eddy, Zwiling, Jokes on You, Jake Casey, Dotty Chu b2b Riana Holey, Axlmore, Emanni, Sammy La Marca, Megapixel and Soul Alignment.
Before announcing artists or securing Footscray Park as the venue, Dangerous Goods Entertainment sold 14,000 tickets within days of posting about the event on social media. The response demonstrates the company’s rapid growth since 2020, when Lyman and Schmidt began hosting small-scale events during lockdown restrictions.
Those early seated raves evolved into larger productions at Melbourne Pavilion, Pica, the Timberyard and Sydney’s Carriage Works, with crowds growing from 100 to 5000 people. 6XXL Festival represents the company’s most ambitious undertaking yet, positioning Footscray Park as a viable location for world-class music events.
General admission tickets provide access to all four stages, multiple bars, activations and premium viewing positions for fire and light installations throughout Footscray Park. VIP packages add priority entry, private bar access, comfortable seating, a merch bag, complimentary cocktail on arrival and roaming entertainment.
VVIP Booth Packages cater to groups of 10 with elevated private dance booths, dedicated bottle service hosts, backstage artist access, VIP amenities and prime stage positioning. Festival organisers promise the first immersive experience of its kind in Australia, combining psychedelic visuals, interactive brand activations and local food and beverage vendors.
