Words by Staff Writer

Renowned electronic music festival Glitch is making its Australian debut, bringing five international and local acts to Melbourne this autumn.

The single-day event, partnered with Untitled Group, marks a significant expansion for the Malta-based festival, which ranked in DJ Mag’s top 100 festivals globally last year. Known for its forward-thinking curation and world-class production, Glitch has previously hosted electronic heavyweights like Charlotte De Witte, Mall Grab, Marcel Dettmann and Honey Dijon.

The Melbourne lineup showcases a mix of international talent and local forces, headlined by homegrown artist STÜM, who has been making waves in the global electronic scene.

German producer Narciss, fresh from their standout performance at Pitch Music & Arts, will bring their boundary-pushing techno to the PICA stage. They’re joined by ØTTA, whose signature blend of psytrance, Brazilian rhythms and UK garage has become a Glitch festival staple.

Local force Benwal is set to deliver his trademark fusion of techno and house, while Naarm’s own Crybaby rounds out the bill. The latter has established herself as one of Australia’s most versatile selectors, moving effortlessly between Global Club, Ghetto Tech, Dembow and Hard Dance across appearances at Splendour in the Grass, Beyond The Valley and Lost Paradise.

The Australian edition follows Glitch’s successful expansion into Berlin, with the flagship Malta event drawing more than 80 acts across four days. The Melbourne show continues the festival’s commitment to premium sound systems and high-end production values.
