Progressive house and trance-inspired sounds are set to hit Melbourne in a big way as international party brand Sassafrass makes its Victorian premiere on Saturday 30 May at Glamorama Courtyard.
Presented in association with local favourites South Ave, the event promises a proper party, complete with 100 free South Ave Seltzers being given away from 10pm in the courtyard.
Born at Amsterdam Dance Event in 2022, Sassafrass has rapidly become an exciting name, championing a fresh wave of “trance-inspired house.”

For the Melbourne launch, Sassafrass has assembled a high-quality local lineup featuring DJ Luv You, Jo Christy, Charles-Eddy, xla, Hugo Brown and Lord Roberts, who will take over the Glamorama Courtyard on 30 May.
Since its explosive debut, Sassafrass has hosted events at Glastonbury’s Glade Dome, Manchester’s Eastern Bloc, Perth, and Western Australia’s Blazing Swan.
The sound has found a particularly strong home in Australia, especially within Melbourne’s progressive and trance-leaning underground. Local allies include Jennifer Loveless, Bertie, Solar Suite, DJ Life, Guy Contact, suki, IN2STELLAR, Reflex Blue, Command D and many more.
The event arrives at the perfect time, feeding Melbourne’s hunger for emotionally charged, melodic yet driving dance music that sits between house and trance. With strong connections already built through previous Australian appearances, the Melbourne edition feels like a natural and long-awaited homecoming.
Sassafrass Melbourne will take place on Saturday 30 May at Glamorama Courtyard. Entry is free. For more information, head here.
