Hard techno heavyweight Oguz to play surprise show at The Third Day

Words by staff writer

Ashby Projects has announced a last-minute pop-up party this Saturday at The Third Day, headlined by Dutch hard techno powerhouse OGUZ, with other secret guests still to be revealed.

Born out of Amsterdam’s illegal rave scene, OGUZ has become one of the most formidable figures in contemporary hard techno. Known for his relentless energy, industrial textures and high-velocity sound, the producer and DJ has amassed multimillions of streams and built a global following through sold-out club shows and major festival appearances across Europe, Asia and Australia.

This Melbourne appearance marks OGUZ’s most intimate local show to date, bringing his signature high-impact sound into the close confines of The Third Day for the first time. Presented by Ashby Projects and BUMP, the pop-up format signals a little nod to the underground ethos that shaped his early career.

With secret guests still under wraps, the event is shaping up to be one of the weekend’s most anticipated late announcements, tapping into Melbourne’s appetite for stripped-back, high-intensity techno experiences.

Tickets are strictly limited and expected to sell out quickly. General sale opens Wednesday January 28 at 12pm, with a pre-sale link already live. The pop-up takes place this Saturday at The Third Day, offering a rare chance to catch one of hard techno’s defining artists up close.
